mnemon

mnemon is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from mnemon-dev/mnemon. It costs 25 tokens per session (1,033 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of mnemon, Apache-2.0.

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 1mo 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.

Workflow

  1. Remember: mnemon remember "<fact>" --cat <cat> --imp <1-5> --entities "e1,e2" --source agent
    • Only exact content repeats are skipped; distinct content is stored and diff suggestions are advisory.
    • To retire a superseded memory, store and verify the new fact, then explicitly run mnemon forget <old-id>.
    • Output includes action (added/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

Recall Intent

Keep focused queries and memories in their original language. When the user's meaning is clear, choose --intent WHY (reasons), --intent WHEN (timing), --intent ENTITY (what/who), or --intent GENERAL (neutral retrieval). For example: mnemon recall "<query>" --intent WHY. The override works in any language; --verbose reports meta.intent and meta.intent_source (auto or override).

Automatic cues cover some forms in English, Mandarin Chinese (simplified and traditional), Hindi (Devanagari), Spanish, Modern Standard Arabic, French, Bengali (Bengali script), Portuguese, Indonesian (Latin script), Russian (Cyrillic), and German. Unrecognized forms use GENERAL; conflicting cues involving additional languages also use GENERAL. English/Chinese-only scoring is preserved. This is a lexical heuristic, not full language understanding. See the supported forms, script variants, and limits.

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.
