memex-agentic-memory

memex-agentic-memory is a skill for Claude Code from iamtouchskyer/memex. It costs 19 tokens per session (1,606 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An experimental workflow for turning observations into structured memory cards and linking related knowledge. It uses the memex memory system and requires an explicit opt-in setting.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to record project knowledge, enrich stored notes, search past information, and create deliberate links between related memory cards.
Why use it?
It gives coding agents a defined way to capture, improve, find, and connect information instead of leaving memories as isolated notes.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

memex-agentic-memory scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Agentic Memory Skill (Experimental)

An A-MEM-inspired workflow that uses existing memex primitives to produce higher-quality memory cards through structured observation, enrichment, retrieval, and deliberate linking.

This skill is experimental and requires opt-in.

Prerequisite: Feature Flag Guard

Before proceeding, locate .memexrc using the same precedence as core memex:

  1. $MEMEX_HOME/.memexrc (if MEMEX_HOME env var is set)
  2. Walk up from the current directory looking for .memexrc
  3. ~/.memex/.memexrc (fallback)

Check that experimental.agenticMemory is exactly true.

If the flag is missing, false, or not exactly true, STOP. Use the standard memex-retro skill instead. Do not proceed with the agentic workflow.

Tools Available

Three equivalent interfaces — use whichever your environment supports:

CLI (memex in PATH) Plugin CLI fallback (Claude Code) MCP tool (VSCode / Cursor)
memex search <q> node ~/.claude/plugins/cache/cc-plugins/memex/*/dist/cli.js search <q> memex_search with query arg
memex read <slug> node ~/.claude/plugins/cache/cc-plugins/memex/*/dist/cli.js read <slug> memex_read with slug arg
memex write <slug> node ~/.claude/plugins/cache/cc-plugins/memex/*/dist/cli.js write <slug> memex_write with slug arg and body

Resolution order: Try memex in PATH first. If not found, use the plugin fallback or MCP tools.

Workflow

Step 1: Input Triage

Identify whether there is a memory-worthy insight from the completed work.

Skip if the content is:

  • Temporary or session-specific (current task state, in-progress work)
  • Obvious or well-known (standard library usage, common patterns)
  • Not reusable across future sessions

If nothing is worth remembering, stop here.

Step 2: Draft Atomic Card

For each insight, draft one card:

  • Title: Short, descriptive
  • Slug: English kebab-case (e.g., yaml-array-roundtrip-bug)
  • Body: One atomic insight in your own words. Distill, don't copy.
  • Context: Add explicit project/domain context when the insight would be ambiguous without it

memex-agentic-memory is a skill published in the GitHub repository iamtouchskyer/memex (144 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 19 tokens to every session and 1,606 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
