A cleanup tool for files managed by mem9, an AI-agent memory system. It first shows what it will remove and can then delete mem9 settings, hooks, and state files.

Inspecting and removing mem9-managed Codex files globally, or removing them from both the global setup and the current project.

It prevents old mem9 files from interfering with a reinstall, reset, or removal. You can choose whether to include the current project's local settings.

cleanup — Skill for Claude Code and Codex by mem9-ai/mem9

About the project

mem9 is a persistent memory service for AI agents that preserves information across sessions and machines and can share it among multiple agents. It is used with OpenClaw, coding agents, workflow platforms, and custom clients that need shared storage and recall. The catalogue add-ons connect agents and workflows to mem9 memory.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

SkillSpector: 1 finding, up to high

These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

high Privilege Escalation · line 50
Code accesses credential files (SSH keys, AWS credentials, etc.). This could indicate credential theft attempts.

Fix: Remove references to credential paths. Use environment variables or secrets managers. For docs, use placeholder paths (e.g., /path/to/config). Never load .env or token files in production code paths.

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 5.1	$0.00019	$0.00375
Opus 5.5	$0.00008	$0.00150
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00004	$0.00075
Haiku 4.5	$0.00002	$0.00038

Security

Grade A, and why

cleanup 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 2mo ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/cleanup.mjs), 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.

What it actually says

Mem9 Cleanup

Resolve ./scripts/cleanup.mjs relative to this skill directory.

If you need the current CLI surface, flags, or examples, run node ./scripts/cleanup.mjs --help first. Use command-specific help when needed, for example node ./scripts/cleanup.mjs run --help.

Run this workflow:

Inspect the current cleanup targets first:

set -euo pipefail
node ./scripts/cleanup.mjs inspect

Use the JSON summary to confirm whether cleanup should cover only global Codex files or the current project's local override too.
Remove mem9-managed global Codex files with:

set -euo pipefail
node ./scripts/cleanup.mjs run

When the current repository's local override should be removed too, run:

set -euo pipefail
node ./scripts/cleanup.mjs run --include-project

Common flags:

inspect
run
--include-project
--cwd <repo-root>

run removes mem9-managed entries from $CODEX_HOME/hooks.json, $CODEX_HOME/mem9/hooks/, $CODEX_HOME/mem9/install.json, $CODEX_HOME/mem9/config.json, and $CODEX_HOME/mem9/state.json. run --include-project also removes <project>/.codex/mem9/config.json.

Keep $MEM9_HOME/.credentials.json, $CODEX_HOME/config.toml, and mem9 debug logs untouched. Do not print API keys or credential file contents.

Files

What ships with it

1 file 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.
