remember

A workflow for reviewing a coding conversation and saving useful decisions, conventions, and lessons for later work. It stores general guidance in AGENTS.md or turns repeatable processes into reusable skills.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to record coding standards, architecture choices, effective workflows, mistakes to avoid, and feedback about how work should be done.
Why use it?
It prevents important context from being lost when a conversation ends or a project is revisited.

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

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 yesterday.

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 — 119 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Review our conversation and capture valuable knowledge. Focus especially on best practices we discussed or discovered—these are the most important things to preserve.

Step 1: Identify Best Practices and Key Learnings

Scan the conversation for:

Best Practices (highest priority)

  • Patterns that worked well - approaches, techniques, or solutions we found effective
  • Anti-patterns to avoid - mistakes, gotchas, or approaches that caused problems
  • Quality standards - criteria we established for good code, documentation, or processes
  • Decision rationale - why we chose one approach over another

Other Valuable Knowledge

  • Coding conventions and style preferences
  • Project architecture decisions
  • Workflows and processes we developed
  • Tools, libraries, or techniques worth remembering
  • Feedback I gave about your behavior or outputs

Step 2: Decide Where to Store Each Learning

For each best practice or learning, choose the right destination:

-> Memory (AGENTS.md) for preferences and guidelines

Use memory when the knowledge is:

  • A preference or guideline (not a multi-step process)
  • Something to always keep in mind
  • A simple rule or pattern

Global ($DEEPAGENTS_HOME/agent/AGENTS.md): Universal preferences across all projects Project (.deepagents/AGENTS.md): Project-specific conventions and decisions

-> Skill for reusable workflows and methodologies

Create a skill when we developed:

  • A multi-step process worth reusing
  • A methodology for a specific type of task
  • A workflow with best practices baked in
  • A procedure that should be followed consistently

Skills are more powerful than memory entries because they can encode how to do something well, not just what to remember.

Step 3: Create Skills for Significant Best Practices

If we established best practices around a workflow or process, capture them in a skill.

Example: If we discussed best practices for code review, create a code-review skill that encodes those practices into a reusable workflow.

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.

remember is a skill published in the GitHub repository langchain-ai/deepagents (28,721 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 71 tokens to every session and 978 once invoked, about $0.0004 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.
