syncing-memory-filesystem

syncing-memory-filesystem is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from letta-ai/letta-code. It costs 42 tokens per session (1,608 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A repair guide for MemFS, a Git-backed folder used to store an agent’s memory. It covers repository setup, remote syncing, authentication, backups, and merge or rebase conflicts.

In plain words
What is it for?
Inspecting memory layouts, fixing Git repository issues, reconnecting hosted remotes, handling credentials, and resolving sync conflicts.
Why use it?
It helps diagnose memory-storage problems when the repository behind an agent’s memory cannot set up or synchronize correctly.

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

syncing-memory-filesystem 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 4d 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.

MemFS Repository Repair

Use this skill only when the Git repository behind an agent's memory is not setting up or syncing correctly. For ordinary memory reads and edits, use the memory files or the memory tools without loading this skill.

Current Model

MemFS is a Git repository projected onto the computer where the agent is running. $MEMORY_DIR is the repository root. There is no second memory/ directory inside it.

The repository can use either memory layout. Inspect its current tree and the memory rules in the system prompt before editing files:

Root layout                         Existing layout
$MEMORY_DIR/                        $MEMORY_DIR/
├── MEMORY.md     # root index      ├── system/     # in-context memory
├── persona.md    # core memory     ├── reference/  # deferred memory
├── <topic>/                        └── skills/     # agent-owned skills
│   └── MEMORY.md # child index
└── skills/       # agent-owned skills

Cloud-backed agents have a hosted MemFS remote. Local-backend agents keep a local-only Git repository and do not need a remote or cloud credentials.

The memory tools commit their changes. After each turn, the harness pushes clean committed changes for cloud-backed agents. Local-backend commits remain on the current machine. Do not run git push for normal MemFS sync; let the harness push after the turn.

Committed memory changes do not alter the current compiled prompt immediately. Use /recompile when the current conversation must see changed core memory right away. Otherwise, the next prompt compilation or conversation will use the committed revision.

Start With the Harness

Prefer the harness commands over manual API calls, remote construction, or credential-helper edits:

/memfs status    # show whether MemFS is enabled and its path
/memfs enable    # initialize or repair MemFS setup
/memfs sync      # pull the hosted repository

From a shell, the standalone status and pull commands are:

letta memory status --agent "$AGENT_ID"
letta memory pull --agent "$AGENT_ID"

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.
