honcho-memory

honcho-memory is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from mrobinson2/AzureAgentForge. It costs 45 tokens per session (1,261 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A skill for looking up long-term facts about users or other agents in Honcho, a persistent memory store. It retrieves information through Honcho’s query interface.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when someone asks what the agent knows about them, their preferences, habits, history, or other personal context.
Why use it?
It prevents the agent from guessing personal details or treating one conversation as a complete history.

These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

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

honcho-memory 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 2mo ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/pc-honcho.sh, scripts/pc-memory.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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 115 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Honcho Memory

Query the Honcho persistent memory store via its Dialectic API. Honcho holds long-running facts and observations about peers (users and agents) that have been built up across many conversations.

When to use this skill

  • The user asks "what do you know about me?"
  • The user asks for personal preferences, habits, history, relationships, or anything specific to them
  • You need to recall something the user has previously told an agent
  • ANY question where the honest answer requires knowing the user

Do NOT fabricate personal facts from training data or from words present in your system prompt. If pc-honcho returns an empty or unsure answer, say so plainly.

Helper path — resolve dynamically once per session

The helper script lives under the Hermes skills directory but the absolute path varies between containers. Resolve it before use:

HONCHO_HELPER=""
for _p in \
  "/paperclip/.hermes/skills/playbooks/honcho-memory/scripts/pc-honcho.sh" \
  "/app/skills/playbooks/honcho-memory/scripts/pc-honcho.sh" \
  "/opt/data/skills/playbooks/honcho-memory/scripts/pc-honcho.sh"; do
  if [ -x "$_p" ]; then HONCHO_HELPER="$_p"; break; fi
done
[ -z "$HONCHO_HELPER" ] && { echo "honcho-memory helper not found"; exit 2; }

Required environment variables (already set on ca-orchestrator)

Variable Purpose
HONCHO_BASE_URL Honcho service URL (internal ACA FQDN)
HONCHO_API_KEY Auth token; "self-hosted" in dev
HONCHO_APP_ID Honcho workspace name, e.g. "hermes-dev"
HONCHO_USER_PEER_ID The canonical peer ID for the principal user. Discover with list-peers if unset.

Subcommands

list-peers

List every peer registered in the workspace. Use this to discover the user's peer ID — it will match whatever ID the upstream channel (e.g. the Telegram bot) uses when writing messages to Honcho.

bash "$HONCHO_HELPER" list-peers

Output is JSON. Look for a peer whose name/id refers to the principal user (e.g. their messaging username or numeric user_id).

What ships with it

2 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.
