people-memory is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from LuisUrrutia/skills. It costs 58 tokens per session (688 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A system for keeping persistent profiles about people in an Obsidian personal vault, so useful relationship details can be remembered between conversations.

In plain words
What is it for?

Why use it?
It reduces repeated searching and prevents relationship notes from becoming scattered or filled with unnecessary 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

people-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 10d 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.

People Memory

Purpose

Keep useful relationship memory in Obsidian People profiles without writing noise. This skill is a concise entry point, with detailed matching, prompts, and QA kept in the companion docs.

Quick Start

  1. Trigger on any person mention, including full names, aliases, nicknames, and contextual references such as my manager, my cousin, or the founder I met last week.
  2. Load REFERENCE.md before matching or updating.
  3. Search existing profiles under 06 - People/ by filename, aliases, known names, and relevant context.
  4. Decide whether the write gate passes before editing.
  5. Use Assets/Templates/t.people.md as the source template convention for new profiles.
  6. Load QA.md before reporting completion after any write.

Core Workflow

  1. Detect the person mention or explicit create/update request.
  2. Match the person using REFERENCE.md, including confidence and contextual reference rules.
  3. If creation or a prompt is needed, use TEMPLATES.md for the exact profile shape and question wording.
  4. Write only when allowed by the write gate.
  5. Preserve existing profile structure and fields while making the smallest useful change.
  6. Run the QA checklist before responding.

Write Gate

Triggering is broad. Writing is narrow.

Write only when one of these is true:

  • The user explicitly asks to create or update a person profile.
  • The conversation adds new useful relationship memory, such as identity, contact details, role, company, alias, where-met context, preferences, commitments, follow-ups, or meaningful conversation notes.

Do not write when:

  • The person is only mentioned in passing.
  • The fact is already present in the matched profile.
  • The information is vague, unresolved, or not useful as durable relationship memory.

Ask Instead Of Writing

Ask one direct clarification question, then stop, when:

  • A name, alias, or nickname matches multiple plausible profiles.
  • A contextual reference does not resolve to exactly one confident person.
  • Creation is requested but the full name or one context clue is missing.
  • The update would overwrite an existing email, phone, linkedin, or company value.

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.
