remnic-status

remnic-status is a skill for Claude Code from joshuaswarren/remnic. It costs 37 tokens per session (499 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A health-check tool for the Remnic daemon, its memory stores, and connected clients. A daemon is a background service that runs continuously to provide a function.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to check Remnic's running state, ports, storage location, connected clients, or memory connection errors.
Why use it?
It helps identify whether memory features are unavailable because the background service or one of its components is not working.

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-status 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 the user asks whether Remnic is running, when recall or store calls start failing, or when diagnosing cross-agent memory issues from Claude Code.

Triggers:

  • "Is Remnic running?"
  • "Check memory status."
  • /remnic:status slash command invocation.
  • Recall/store tools returned connection errors in this turn.

Inputs

  • Optional: specific component to check (daemon, HTTP server, MCP server, store backend).

Procedure

  1. Check the Remnic health endpoint via the MCP bridge or run remnic daemon status in a shell.
  2. Report, in a compact block:
    • Daemon running state (PID if known).
    • Listening port(s).
    • Memory store path.
    • Connected clients or plugins, if exposed.
  3. If the daemon is not running, suggest remnic daemon start and mention the log path.
  4. If recall/store tools were erroring earlier in the turn, correlate the health state with those errors in one sentence.

Efficiency plan

  • One health call per turn is enough; do not poll.
  • Skip the check for trivially local tasks.
  • Reuse the health payload for downstream troubleshooting within the same turn.

Pitfalls and fixes

  • Pitfall: Running remnic daemon status on a host where the daemon lives in a container. Fix: Prefer the MCP health endpoint, or run the CLI inside the container.
  • Pitfall: Reporting "down" from a single failed tool call. Fix: Confirm with the health endpoint before claiming an outage.
  • Pitfall: Forgetting the log path. Fix: Always include a pointer to logs on failure.

Verification checklist

  • Health was checked via the endpoint or CLI, not guessed.
  • Daemon state, port, store path, and clients were reported concisely.
  • If unhealthy, the user got a concrete next step.
  • Canonical remnic daemon wording was used over legacy engram daemon where the CLI has been renamed.

CLI names: canonical CLI is remnic daemon. The legacy engram daemon invocation 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.
