mnemex-skills

mnemex-skills is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from notsointresting/mnemex. It costs 0 tokens per session (151 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

Instructions for using mnemex before significant code changes. Mnemex is a local decision-checking layer that links a proposed change to code and reports whether the related decision is still fresh.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it before substantial implementation work to check a proposed change, investigate unclear evidence, review conflicts, and explain any decision override.
Why use it?
It helps agents notice when an earlier decision is outdated or conflicts with the proposed change. It provides a defined escalation path when the decision check blocks work.

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

mnemex-skills 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.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (bin/mnemex-skills.cjs), 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.

What it actually says

mnemex

Use mnemex before implementing a significant code change. Mnemex is a local-first decision-integrity layer: it anchors a decision to code and reports whether that decision is still fresh.

  1. Run check_proposed_change with the path and a concise patch summary.
  2. Treat a block as requiring override_decision_guard with a reason.
  3. Run why or review_conflicts when the returned decision evidence is unclear.
  4. Reconcile a stale anchor before replacing its decision.
  5. Treat local-only or unavailable semantic verdicts as advisory evidence, not permission to ignore an active decision.

Mnemex remains local by default. The semantic provider is opt-in.

Files

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.

mnemex-skills is a skill published in the GitHub repository notsointresting/mnemex (1 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 151 tokens. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
