setup-people-memory

setup-people-memory is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from michelgrolet/people-memory-mcp. It costs 107 tokens per session (906 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A setup guide for People Memory, a private contact database and memory system for an AI agent. It covers connecting contact sources, choosing a database, installing the schema, and configuring the MCP server and user interface.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to install or reconfigure People Memory with hosted Supabase, local Supabase, or an existing PostgreSQL database, and connect supported contact sources.
Why use it?
It turns several separate setup decisions into a checked configuration and helps keep contact credentials out of chat, code, and shell history.

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

setup-people-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 9d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 87 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Set up People Memory

Configure the whole path from conversation to private database. Keep credentials out of chat output, Git, browser code, and shell history where possible.

1. Inspect before asking

  1. Check whether the people-memory MCP tools are already present.
  2. If present, call graph_status. Offer repair or reconfiguration instead of reinstalling blindly.
  3. Detect the current agent, uv, Supabase CLI, Docker-compatible runtime, and browser tools.
  4. Locate a cloned people-memory-mcp repo if one exists.

Do not claim a component works because its config file exists. Verify the MCP with graph_status.

2. Ask the deployment choice

Ask one compact question with these options:

  • Hosted Supabase, recommended for a free cloud backend, Auth, REST, and browser UI.
  • Local Supabase, recommended when all contact data must remain on the machine.
  • Existing PostgreSQL, for users who already operate a database. Explain that the UI then needs the optional API or a compatible auth/REST layer.

Read references/deployment.md for the chosen path. Do not load the other paths.

3. Set the owner and secrets

  1. Store the PostgreSQL URL in ~/.config/people-memory/.env with mode 0600.
  2. Generate an API token if the optional REST API will run.
  3. Set app_settings.owner_email to the account that may open the hosted UI.
  4. Put only the Supabase URL and publishable key in web/config.js.
  5. Never put a service-role key or PostgreSQL URL in the browser.

4. Connect the current agent

Prefer the user's existing agent. Add the stdio MCP through that agent's supported command or config. For Codex and Claude Code, use the exact current commands in the repository README. Start a fresh session after changing MCP config.

Offer to install the durable memory rule from templates/AGENTS.md or templates/CLAUDE.md. Ask before changing a global user instruction file. Preserve existing content and add one clearly named section.

If the user has no agent, offer a minimal workspace containing the matching template and connect it to Codex or Claude Code. Do not build a custom agent runtime unless they ask for one.

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.
