mnemon

A command-line memory tool for AI agents that stores facts, finds relevant past information, and connects related memories. A command-line tool is operated by typing commands in a terminal.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps save facts, recall them by query, identify possible related memories, and create semantic or cause-and-effect links between them.
Why use it?
It reduces the need to rediscover information across tasks while allowing stored facts to be updated, skipped as duplicates, or linked when genuinely related.

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

mnemon 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.

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.

Origin

This is a copy

86% identical to mnemon — 12 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

Workflow

  1. Remember: mnemon remember "<fact>" --cat <cat> --imp <1-5> --entities "e1,e2" --source agent
    • Diff is built-in: duplicates skipped, conflicts auto-replaced.
    • Output includes action (added/updated/skipped), semantic_candidates, causal_candidates.
  2. Link (evaluate candidates from step 1 — use judgment, not mechanical rules):
    • Review causal_candidates: does a genuine cause-effect relationship exist? causal_signal is regex-based and prone to false positives — only link if the memories are truly causally related.
    • Review semantic_candidates: are these memories meaningfully related? High similarity alone is not sufficient — skip candidates that share keywords but discuss unrelated topics.
    • Syntax: mnemon link <id> <candidate> --type <causal|semantic> --weight <0-1> [--meta '<json>']
  3. Recall: mnemon recall "<query>" --limit 10

Usage with nanobot

Use the exec tool to run mnemon commands. Recall can run in the main conversation; delegate remember and link to a sub-agent via spawn to keep the main conversation clean.

exec(command="mnemon recall 'user preferences'")
exec(command="mnemon recall 'past decisions about auth'")

Import Historical Chats

When the user asks to import old chats, notes, or exported context, create a memory_draft.json with schema_version: "1", insights entries containing content, category, importance, tags, entities, and optional created_at, plus optional edges using source_index, target_index, edge_type, weight, and reason. Run mnemon import --dry-run <file>, then run mnemon import <file> only after validation passes. After import, verify with mnemon status and a focused mnemon search or mnemon recall. Check the output errors field because imports can partially succeed.

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.

mnemon is a skill published in the GitHub repository mnemon-dev/mnemon (540 stars, last pushed 9d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 25 tokens to every session and 764 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 86% identical to mnemon, differing in 12 lines, and is treated as a copy.
