agent-memory-systems

agent-memory-systems is a skill for Claude Code from lingxling/awesome-skills-cn. It costs 51 tokens per session (6,847 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of agent-memory-systems, MIT.

A guide to designing memory for AI agents, including temporary context, long-term storage, and different kinds of remembered information. It explains how agents store and retrieve facts, past events, and procedures.

In plain words
What is it for?
Planning agent memory systems, choosing memory types, designing retrieval, organizing stored knowledge, and checking whether an agent can find relevant information.
Why use it?
It addresses the problem of agents losing useful information or failing to find it later. It also helps choose how information should be split, stored, aged, and tested for retrieval.

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

agent-memory-systems 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 11d 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.

Agent Memory Systems

Memory is the cornerstone of intelligent agents. Without it, every interaction starts from zero. This skill covers the architecture of agent memory: short-term (context window), long-term (vector stores), and the cognitive architectures that organize them.

Key insight: Memory isn't just storage - it's retrieval. A million stored facts mean nothing if you can't find the right one. Chunking, embedding, and retrieval strategies determine whether your agent remembers or forgets.

The field is fragmented with inconsistent terminology. We use the CoALA cognitive architecture framework: semantic memory (facts), episodic memory (experiences), and procedural memory (how-to knowledge).

Principles

  • Memory quality = retrieval quality, not storage quantity
  • Chunk for retrieval, not for storage
  • Context isolation is the enemy of memory
  • Right memory type for right information
  • Decay old memories - not everything should be forever
  • Test retrieval accuracy before production
  • Background memory formation beats real-time

Capabilities

  • agent-memory
  • long-term-memory
  • short-term-memory

Tooling

Memory_frameworks

  • LangMem (LangChain) - When: LangGraph agents with persistent memory Note: Semantic, episodic, procedural memory types
  • MemGPT / Letta - When: Virtual context management, OS-style memory Note: Hierarchical memory tiers, automatic paging
  • Mem0 - When: User memory layer for personalization Note: Designed for user preferences and history

Vector_stores

  • Pinecone - When: Managed, enterprise-scale (billions of vectors) Note: Best query performance, highest cost
  • Qdrant - When: Complex metadata filtering, open-source Note: Rust-based, excellent filtering
  • Weaviate - When: Hybrid search, knowledge graph features Note: GraphQL interface, good for relationships
  • ChromaDB - When: Prototyping, small/medium apps Note: Developer-friendly, ~20ms p50 at 100K vectors
  • pgvector - When: Already using PostgreSQL, simpler setup Note: Good for <1M vectors, familiar tooling

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.
