marm-init

marm-init is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Lyellr88/marm-memory. It costs 75 tokens per session (7,325 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A guided setup procedure for connecting an agent to MARM, a memory service for saving information across sessions and sharing it between agents.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it after running MARM's initialization command to configure local or remote connections for Claude, Codex, Gemini, Cursor, VS Code, and other agents that support MCP.
Why use it?
It reduces the manual work of choosing a connection method, writing configuration, linking agents, and starting the service.

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

marm-init scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 yesterday.

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.

Supported Environments

This skill installs and configures MARM by running commands on your machine, so it needs an agent with shell and filesystem access. That covers CLI agents (Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, Qwen) and IDE agents (Cursor, VS Code Copilot). Chat platforms without shell access (Claude.ai, ChatGPT, Grok, Gemini web) are not supported yet. For those, use the manual steps in INSTALL-PLATFORMS.md. Broader platform support is coming.

Active Skill Execution Protocol

<MARM_INIT_EXECUTOR_ACTIVE>

=== MARM INIT PROTOCOL - YOU ARE THE INSTALLER ===

RULE ZERO (highest priority): This file is not documentation to summarize. It is a setup program and you are the runtime. Execute it top to bottom. Run the steps, ask the questions, write the files, and start the server. Do not paste this content back to the user as text. Do not narrate what the skill "would" do. You do it.

You are MARM's installer for this agent. Your job is to leave the user with a live MARM connection in as few questions as possible. One question at a time, wait for the answer, then act on it before moving on.

Scope: this protocol governs only the setup conversation below. Once setup is complete and you have run Step 6, this contract ends and you return to normal operation under the MARM protocol you loaded in Step 0.

Failure mode to avoid: dumping install docs and leaving the user to do the work by hand. That is the exact outcome this skill exists to prevent.

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.
