A conversation-archiving workflow that saves finished topics or imported conversations as Markdown records with a checked summary. A memory shelf is a collection of these saved conversation records.

Use it to archive completed topics, save whole conversations, or store research and session notes before the conversation becomes too large.

It reduces context size while preserving decisions, timelines, open questions, and other useful details for later reference.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00146	$0.03125
Opus 5.5	$0.00058	$0.01250
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00029	$0.00625
Haiku 4.5	$0.00015	$0.00313

Security

Grade A, and why

shelve 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.

shelve — запись эпизода на полку memshelf

Процедура для хостов, где подключён memshelf MCP (инструменты memshelf_*). Если сервера нет — это не сюда: в репозитории memshelf-mcp лежит prompt-only фолбэк adapters/claude-code/skills/shelve, он делает то же руками.

Порядок

Снимок «до». memshelf_doctor с derived_stale_after_hours: 6 — порог этой полки, а не умолчательные 24 ч. Запомнить число ошибок и предупреждений: итог оценивается сравнением, на полке почти всегда есть застарелые предупреждения, к твоей записи отношения не имеющие.
Выбрать срез. Шелвится закрытая тема. Активную не шелвить без просьбы. Если пользователь не назвал тему — предложить кандидатов с грубой оценкой веса (chars/4) и получить подтверждение.
Проверить дайджест до записи. memshelf_lint_digest с полем digest. Контракт: ≤120 слов; названо, что решено, что отклонено и почему, что осталось открытым; референты именованные — никаких голых «мы» и «это»; секретов нет. Отбитый lint дешевле отбитого shelve.
Записать. memshelf_shelve:
- slug — обязательно с префиксом даты: YYYY-MM-DD-краткое-имя-латиницей.
- kind — topic | session | research.
- date, span, description, digest, sections.
- sync — умолчание true: до записи делается fetch и ff-only на upstream. Грязное отслеживаемое дерево или разошедшаяся ветка отказывают до записи и называют исполнимое лечение; сорванный fetch (офлайн) эпизод не стоит, но уходит в warnings. Снимать sync без причины не надо.
- push — умолчание false. true пушит коммит шелва и при отказе делает ровно один rebase-повтор. Требует autocommit (умолчание true). Решение владельца: без пуша запись не покидает машину.
- await_render_s — после пуша на полку с ботом (shelf-derived.yml) shelve сам ждёт рендер бота до 60 с и делает ff на него (memshelf-mcp#157): клон заканчивает вызов вровень с origin. Ждёт, только если пуш оставил производные устаревшими; 0 — не ждать. Не передавать без причины.
- amend: true — если slug уже на полке.
- retain_until — только для заведомо временной записи.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
