memos-memory-guide

A guide to using the MemOS Local memory system to search past conversations and retrieve reusable information.

In plain words
What is it for?
Searching conversation history, querying local or team-shared memory, and finding reusable tasks or skills from earlier work.
Why use it?
It helps recover relevant user preferences, history, or earlier decisions when the current message does not contain enough context. It also distinguishes private local memories from information shared with a team.

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

memos-memory-guide 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.

MemOS Local Memory — Agent Guide

This skill describes how to use the MemOS memory tools so you can reliably search and use the user's long-term conversation history, query team-shared data, share tasks, and discover or pull reusable skills.

Two sharing planes exist and must not be confused:

  • Local agent sharing: visible to agents in the same OpenClaw workspace only.
  • Team sharing: visible to teammates through the configured team server.

How memory is provided each turn

  • Automatic recall (hook): At the start of each turn, the system runs a memory search using the user's current message and injects relevant past memories into your context. You do not need to call any tool for that.
  • When that is not enough: If the user's message is very long, vague, or the automatic search returns no memories, you should generate your own short, focused query and call memory_search yourself.
  • Memory isolation: Each agent can only see its own local private memories and local public memories. Team-shared data only appears when you search with scope="group" or scope="all".

Tools — what they do and when to call

memory_search

  • What it does: Search long-term conversation memory for past conversations, user preferences, decisions, and experiences. Returns relevant excerpts with chunkId and optionally task_id. Only returns memories belonging to the current agent or marked as public.
  • When to call:
    • The automatic recall did not run or returned nothing.
    • The user's query is long or unclear — generate a short query yourself and call memory_search(query="...").
    • You need to search with a different angle (e.g. filter by role='user').
  • Parameters:
    • query (string, required) — Natural language search query.
    • scope (string, optional) — 'local' (default) for current agent + local shared memories, or 'group' / 'all' to include team-shared memories.
    • maxResults (number, optional) — Increase when the first search is too narrow.
    • minScore (number, optional) — Lower slightly if recall is too strict.
    • role (string, optional) — Filter local results by 'user', 'assistant', 'tool', or 'system'.

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.

memos-memory-guide is a skill published in the GitHub repository MemTensor/MemOS (11,091 stars, last pushed 4d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 131 tokens to every session and 3,387 once invoked, about $0.0007 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
