mnemon

A command-line memory store for persistent information used by coding agents. It supports saving facts, recalling or searching them, linking related entries, importing data, and removing or cleaning up memories.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to preserve project knowledge, retrieve context for later tasks, review related entries, import memory files, or maintain the store.
Why use it?
It keeps reusable knowledge available after a session ends and avoids storing duplicate facts. Links help distinguish genuinely related memories from simple word matches.

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.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 3 executable files (prime.sh, stop.sh, user_prompt.sh), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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

92% identical to mnemon — 2 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.

What it actually says

mnemon

Workflow

  1. Remember: mnemon remember "<fact>" --cat <cat> --imp <1-5> --entities "e1,e2" --source agent
    • Diff is built in: duplicates are skipped, conflicts are auto-replaced.
    • Output includes action (added/updated/skipped), semantic_candidates, and causal_candidates.
  2. Link (evaluate candidates from step 1 using judgment):
    • Review causal_candidates: link only when the memories are genuinely causally related.
    • Review semantic_candidates: high similarity alone is not enough; skip unrelated keyword matches.
    • Syntax: mnemon link <id> <candidate> --type <causal|semantic> --weight <0-1> [--meta '<json>']
  3. Recall: mnemon recall "<query>" --limit 10

Guardrails

  • Use memory only when it can materially improve continuity or task quality.
  • Do not store secrets, passwords, tokens, private keys, or short-lived operational noise.
  • Categories: preference, decision, insight, fact, context
  • Edge types: temporal, semantic, causal, entity
  • Max 8,000 chars per insight.
Files

What ships with it

3 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.

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 485 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 92% identical to mnemon, differing in 2 lines, and is treated as a copy.
