memory-nexus

A shared memory service for keeping project context between coding-agent sessions. It can store information, search it by meaning, remove saved items, and produce a project briefing.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to save decisions and background information, search for earlier project knowledge, and load a briefing with current objectives and instructions.
Why use it?
It reduces the need to repeat project details when starting a new session or switching coding platforms. It also gives you a way to manage and remove stored context.

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

memory-nexus 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 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.

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 Works

When you start a new Claude Code session:

  1. Automatic Detection: The plugin detects your git project and generates a unique hash
  2. Session Start: Memory Nexus retrieves your project's knowledge and context
  3. Briefing Injection: Structured directives, objectives, and knowledge are injected as context
  4. Seamless Continuity: Switch between Claude, Codex, or any other platform using the same API key

Pricing

Tier Cost Monthly Quota
Solo $7/month 50 memories, 10 briefings
Crew $49/month 500 memories, 100 briefings
Fleet $199/month 5000 memories, 1000 briefings

No free tier. No free trial.

Getting Started

  1. Create an account at memory-nexus.org
  2. Generate an API key from your account dashboard
  3. Set MEMORY_NEXUS_API_KEY environment variable
  4. Optionally set MEMORY_NEXUS_API_BASE (defaults to https://api.memory-nexus.org)
  5. Start a new Claude Code session — Memory Nexus will automatically load your project context
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.

memory-nexus is a skill published in the GitHub repository MemoryNexus/memory-nexus-plugins (0 stars, last pushed 5mo ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 445 tokens. 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 2026-08-31.
