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

remnic-search 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.

What it actually says

When to use

Use when remnic-recall did not surface something the user insists exists, or when the task genuinely needs exhaustive coverage rather than a ranked semantic summary.

Triggers:

  • "Search memories for …"
  • "Deep search on …"
  • /remnic:search <query> slash command invocation.
  • Follow-up after remnic-recall returned nothing useful.

Inputs

  • query (required) — literal phrase or keyword string; this is full-text, not semantic.
  • Optional: date range, category filter, entity constraint.

Procedure

  1. Pick the most literal phrase the user expects to match.
  2. Call remnic_lcm_search with that phrase.
  3. Group results by date or category when the tool returns enough metadata.
  4. Present the top 5–10 matches with dates and short excerpts.
  5. If still nothing, say so plainly and offer remnic-remember for capturing the content going forward.

Efficiency plan

  • Use the most specific phrase available.
  • One targeted search beats several broad ones.
  • Do not re-run a deep search for the same topic in the same turn after recall already covered it.

Pitfalls and fixes

  • Pitfall: Using remnic_lcm_search as the default. Fix: Start with remnic_recall; escalate only when recall fails.
  • Pitfall: Pasting huge result dumps. Fix: Show top matches with excerpts.
  • Pitfall: Over-broad queries. Fix: Require at least one distinctive keyword.

Verification checklist

  • remnic_lcm_search was called only after recall fell short or exhaustive matching was required.
  • Results were grouped by relevance or date when possible.
  • Output shows excerpts, not raw payloads.
  • Canonical remnic_lcm_search was used over legacy engram_lcm_search.

Tool names: canonical name is remnic_lcm_search. The legacy engram_lcm_search alias remains accepted during v1.x.

Changes

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.
