A workflow for inspecting and disabling Claude Code's automatic project memory. Claude Code is a coding assistant that can save notes about a repository for later sessions.

It helps inspect the project memory location, change the automatic-memory setting, and purge Claude's saved memory for a project.

It shows what automatic memory exists and can turn it off or remove it, helping prevent unwanted notes from influencing future work.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5	$0.00140	$0.01788
Opus 5	$0.00070	$0.00894
Sonnet 5	$0.00028	$0.00358
Haiku 4.5	$0.00014	$0.00179

Security

Grade A, and why

stateless 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.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 4 executable files (scripts/enumerate-all-projects.sh, scripts/enumerate-all-projects.test.sh, scripts/scope-report.sh, …), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 103 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Auto-memory snapshot

bash "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/stateless/scripts/scope-report.sh" || echo "(snapshot unavailable — run the scope-report script manually)"

Stateless

Inspect and disable Claude Code auto memory, the store Claude writes for itself, one directory per repo (~/.claude/projects/<project>/memory/, relocatable via autoMemoryDirectory). Governs auto-memory only. Not in scope: CLAUDE.md / CLAUDE.local.md / .claude/rules/ (use /claude-memory:audit), transcripts, history, or shell snapshots. For the official full per-project wipe, use claude project purge (Claude Code v2.1.124+). What it does and does not delete is quoted verbatim in reference/official-guidance.md; the deletion plan and flags live in the claude-directory doc.

Criteria and exact doc quotes live in reference/official-guidance.md; re-fetch the source pages listed there if a fact is load-bearing before you act.

Scope

Entity	Location	This skill
Auto-memory store	`~/.claude/projects/<project>/memory/` (or `autoMemoryDirectory`)	Yes. Status / disable / purge
`autoMemoryEnabled` setting	any settings scope	Yes. Reads and writes
`CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_AUTO_MEMORY`	OS env or settings `env` block	Yes. Reads and writes
CLAUDE.md / `.claude/rules/`	repo + user	No. Use `/claude-memory:audit`
CLAUDE.local.md	repo only, no user-scope equivalent	No. Use `/claude-memory:audit`
Transcripts	`~/.claude/projects/<project>/`	No. Auto-cleaned by `cleanupPeriodDays`; `claude project purge` (v2.1.124+) deletes this project's now
Prompt history	`~/.claude/history.jsonl`	No. Persists indefinitely, not swept by `cleanupPeriodDays`; `claude project purge` filters this project's lines
Session files	`~/.claude/sessions/`	No. One file per running session, cleared when the session exits rather than age-swept; not in `claude project purge`'s deletion list
Shell snapshots / backups	`~/.claude/shell-snapshots/`, `~/.claude/backups/`	No. Swept by `cleanupPeriodDays`, but not project-scoped, so `claude project purge` leaves them untouched
Claude Desktop / claude.ai memory	server-side account	Direction only. See context/desktop.md

Files

What ships with it

10 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.

stateless is a skill published in the GitHub repository melodic-software/claude-code-plugins (12 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 140 tokens to every session and 1,788 once invoked, about $0.0007 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 2026-08-30.
