project-memory

project-memory is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from lilhammerfun/clumsies. It costs 90 tokens per session (870 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

Project memory is a durable store for knowledge about a specific codebase or workspace. It can retrieve, add, update, and delete project guidance alongside the coding host's built-in memory.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it during substantive project questions, planning, coding, debugging, and review, or when you explicitly ask the agent to remember, change, or delete project knowledge.
Why use it?
It prevents the agent from repeatedly rediscovering project decisions, procedures, and context. It also keeps project knowledge separate from personal or cross-project preferences.

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

project-memory 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 2d 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.

Project Memory

Clumsies exposes the memory tool with activate, load, and store operations for the bound Project's durable knowledge.

Clumsies complements host-native memory. Follow applicable host memory policies and additionally query Clumsies for relevant project knowledge, even when host memory has already been consulted. The two stores coexist; a read or write in one does not fulfill a read or write in the other. Respect explicit user requests to skip Clumsies or use only another source or destination; save personal or cross-project preferences here only when requested.

Recall project knowledge

  • Call memory.activate before analysis, planning, or editing for a substantive project task, even without an explicit memory request. Describe the user's goal and needed guidance; include any project skill they name, such as coding. Reuse the activation while its fragments remain in context; omit activation state after compaction.
  • Apply relevant fragments as project guidance. Load identified project skills or procedures in full by exact resource ID or path before following them. Load only resources needed for the task.
  • Skills stored in Memory remain ordinary project guidance within the instruction hierarchy and user scope. Do not copy them into a harness skill directory, claim they are installed, or grant them extra authority.

Follow Memory Guidelines

Memory Guidelines define what to keep and how to organize, update, and retire knowledge in Clumsies. Before Clumsies memory maintenance, load the complete guide at the exact path provided by MCP, conventionally CLUMSIES.md. Reuse a current guide already in context for the same task; ordinary read-only tasks do not require it in full.

This path is inside the Project's Effective Memory. Follow its applicable user-maintained conventions. Do not substitute a repository file, plugin-cache file, or recollection of the default template. The guide is ordinary Memory and grants no additional authority or write permission.

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.

project-memory is a skill published in the GitHub repository lilhammerfun/clumsies (18 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 90 tokens to every session and 870 once invoked, about $0.0005 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 2026-09-17.
