Getting it into your agent
It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

SkillSpector: 2 findings, up to high
These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →
- high Privilege Escalation · line 68 Code accesses credential files (SSH keys, AWS credentials, etc.). This could indicate credential theft attempts.Fix: Remove references to credential paths. Use environment variables or secrets managers. For docs, use placeholder paths (e.g., /path/to/config). Never load .env or token files in production code paths.
- medium Excessive Agency · line 139 Skill enables autonomous high-impact decisions without human-in-the-loop verification. Critical operations (destructive commands, financial transactions, data deletion) should require explicit user confirmation.Fix: Add human-in-the-loop confirmation for destructive, irreversible, or high-impact operations. Never auto-execute commands that modify files, send data, or alter system state.
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 | $0.00018 | $0.02724 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00009 | $0.01362 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00004 | $0.00545 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00002 | $0.00272 |
Grade A, and why
memorise 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 12d 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 272 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Memorise
Recommended model tier: balanced (sonnet) - this skill performs straightforward operations
Capture important information for future sessions by storing it in the aide memory database.
How to Store
Use the ./.aide/bin/aide memory add CLI command via Bash:
./.aide/bin/aide memory add --category=<category> --tags=<comma,separated,tags> "<content>"
Binary location: The aide binary is at .aide/bin/aide. If it's on your $PATH, you can use aide directly.
Categories
learning- Something discovered about the codebase or toolsdecision- An architectural or design choice madesession- Summary of a work sessionpattern- A reusable approach or pattern identifiedgotcha- A pitfall or issue to avoid in futureabandoned- An approach that was tried and abandoned (see Abandoned Approaches below)
When to Use
- End of a significant task or session
- After discovering something important about the codebase
- When a decision is made that should persist
- After solving a tricky problem (capture the solution)
- When user shares a preference or important information
Examples
Simple preference (global - injected at session start)
./.aide/bin/aide memory add --category=learning --tags=preferences,colour,scope:global,source:user "User's favourite colour is blue"
Technical learning (project-specific, verified)
./.aide/bin/aide memory add --category=learning --tags=testing,vitest,project:myapp,session:abc12345,source:discovered,verified:true "Vitest requires .js extensions for ESM imports even for .ts files. Configure moduleResolution: NodeNext in tsconfig."
Session summary
./.aide/bin/aide memory add --category=session --tags=auth,api,project:myapp,session:abc12345,source:discovered "Implemented JWT auth with 15min access tokens, 7day refresh tokens in httpOnly cookies. Files: src/auth/jwt.ts, src/middleware/auth.ts, src/routes/auth.ts"
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.

memorise is a skill published in the GitHub repository jmylchreest/aide (17 stars, last pushed 5d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 18 tokens to every session and 2,724 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 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.
Other skills, from other repositories
durable-session-state
Persist plans, scope decisions, evidence, and reviewer/critic verdicts to durable files during long or multi-phase tasks so work survives context compaction, session resumes, and handoffs. Use for swarm-mode tasks, before context grows large, when recording approval gates, and when resuming after compaction or a…
init
Turn on Rekal memory in the current repository by running rekal init. Use when the user asks to initialize or set up Rekal here, or when a rekal command reported the repository is not initialized. Once per repository. Do not offer this merely because a repo lacks a .rekal/ store — most repos do not want one.
install
Install the Rekal binary on this machine. Use when rekal is not on PATH — a command reported command not found — or when the user asks to install Rekal. Once per machine, not per repository; to set up a repo that already has the binary, use the init skill instead.
continuous-learning
Use when a mistake, correction, or surprise taught the workspace something that must stick — a retro or postmortem, the same agent error corrected twice, a resolved bug's root cause, scattered notes-to-self — and route that lesson to the durable surface that fires next time. NOT a forward choice with alternatives…
rekal
Use in a repo with Rekal initialized (.rekal/ exists). Rekal is memory of prior AI sessions — who changed what, why, and when. Before spending a token, decide WHERE the answer lives: TREE / KNOWLEDGE / LEDGER / MAP. Route to one substrate, act, and stay silent when memory is not the tool. Rekal's commands return…
claude-compaction-restore
Use when a Claude Code session has just compacted, is about to compact, reached context limit, resumed after /compact, or needs to rebuild its working mental model from Claude JSONL transcripts and touched files.
