project-memory

project-memory is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from me-cedric/agent-compass. It costs 35 tokens per session (349 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A project-memory workflow for agents that use projectmem or another form of durable memory. It reads existing notes before work and records decisions, findings, fixes, failed attempts, validation, and risks.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it on projects with durable agent memory to review prior context, preserve discoveries, document fixes, and track remaining risks.
Why use it?
It prevents useful project knowledge from being lost between tasks and helps the agent notice warnings before taking action.

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 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.

What it actually says

project-memory

Before work

pjm regenerate   # after a pull or merge: fold the shared events of teammates into the log
pjm brief
pjm precheck

For a non-trivial task, also search the memory for the files, modules, libraries and errors that the task touches.

Shared and local

events.jsonl is the committed source of truth. It merges as a union. The projections (summary.md, PROJECT_MAP.md, AI_INSTRUCTIONS.md, issues/) are git-ignored. pjm regenerate rebuilds them. Never commit a projection. A committed summary overwrites the work of teammates.

During work

Log each of these when it happens:

  • A failed attempt.
  • An important finding.
  • A fragile file or a risky area.
  • A library or tooling gotcha that other people can reuse.

After work

Log these items:

  • Decisions and fixes.
  • Files changed.
  • Validation commands and their results.
  • Remaining risks.

Write a committed ADR in {{ADR_DIR}} for each durable architecture decision. Use the skill adr. One file for each decision merges cleanly.

Never log

  • Secrets, tokens or credentials.
  • Personal data or raw customer data.
  • Temporary brainstorming.

If projectmem is not available, continue the task. Report memory logging as not run, with the reason.

Changes

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.
