eli-remember

eli-remember is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from kavyabhand/claude-eli5. It costs 61 tokens per session (479 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A personal library for saving useful comparisons made during simple explanations.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to save, check for duplicates, and reuse a short analogy in future sessions.
Why use it?
It prevents a helpful analogy from being lost when the same concept needs explaining again later.

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

eli-remember 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 5d 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

ELI-REMEMBER — Save Analogy to Personal Library

Saves an analogy to custom-analogies.md so it's available in all future sessions.

Steps

1. Identify the analogy to save

  • If the user specified one in the command (e.g., /eli-remember OAuth is like a valet key): use exactly that
  • If not: use the most recently stated analogy from the conversation
  • If unclear, ask: "Which analogy should I save? Paste it here."

2. Extract the concept and analogy text

Format: **[Concept]**: [analogy in ≤ 25 words]

If the analogy is longer than 25 words, distill it to its essential image.

3. Check for duplicates

CUSTOM="${CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR:-$HOME/.claude}/skills/eli5-mode/references/custom-analogies.md"
grep -i "[concept]" "$CUSTOM" 2>/dev/null || echo "not found"

If a similar entry already exists: "You already have an analogy for [concept]: [existing]. Replace it? (yes/no)"

4. Append to custom-analogies.md

CUSTOM="${CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR:-$HOME/.claude}/skills/eli5-mode/references/custom-analogies.md"
printf '\n- **%s**: %s\n' "[Concept]" "[Analogy text]" >> "$CUSTOM"

5. Confirm

"Saved: [Concept] → [analogy text]

This analogy will be used automatically in all future sessions before the built-in bank."

Rules

  • Keep saved analogies short and concrete — the image should land in one reading
  • Never save abstract descriptions ("it's like a system that manages...") — only concrete images
  • Custom analogies are checked first, before the built-in analogy bank — the user's preferred ones always win
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.
