memory-write

memory-write is a skill for Claude Code from LH8PPL/core-memory-kit. It costs 202 tokens per session (1,350 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A skill that saves durable project facts through Core Memory Kit's protected write process. It checks for secrets, duplicate facts, conflicting information, and unsafe local paths before saving.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for recording, updating, or removing durable project memories when the user asks the agent to remember or forget something.
Why use it?
It lets the agent remember useful decisions and preferences without directly editing the memory files in ways that could leak sensitive information.

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

memory-write 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 1mo 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 130 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Capturing durable memory

Durable facts — preferences, decisions, environment state — are saved through the kit's safe write path (Poison_Guard secret screening + home-path sanitization + dedup + conflict detection).

  • NEVER hand-edit context/MEMORY.md, context/USER.md, or any file under context/memory/. Direct edits bypass screening and can leak a credential or a local path into a committed file.
  • Silent on success. Do not announce "saved to memory" unless the user asked.

There are two equivalent surfaces onto the same safe path. Prefer the MCP tools when the cmk server is connected — params are structured data, so backtick / $() / quote-heavy rationale can't be mangled by a shell, and there's no per-command approval prompt.

Preferred: the cmk MCP tools (when connected)

  • Capture → call mk_remember with text. For a preference, working-style rule, or constraint, also pass why, how, title, and type — this writes a rich Why/How fact file, not just a bullet.
  • Remove → call mk_forget with the fact id. Two-step: the first call previews what would be removed and returns a confirm_token; call again with that token to tombstone (audit trail preserved). Confirm with the user first.
  • Adjust trust → call mk_trust with the fact id and a level of low, medium, or high. Use when the user signals how much a saved fact matters: "trust this" / "that's important — keep it" → high; "that's not important / I'm not sure / low priority" → low. Trust drives what gets injected first and what ages out, so this is the user steering their own memory without editing files.

type is one of:

  • feedback — how the user wants you to work
  • user — who the user is (role, expertise)
  • project — an ongoing goal or constraint
  • reference — a pointer to an external resource (URL, ticket, dashboard)

Fallback: the cmk CLI (when the MCP server isn't connected)

Capture a bullet:

cmk remember "<the fact, one sentence>"
