memory-update

memory-update is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from OutlineDriven/odin-gemini-cli-extension. It costs 62 tokens per session (867 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of memory-update, Apache-2.0.

A workflow for finding important facts in an agent's session transcripts and saving them as memory files. It covers corrections, preferences, decisions, and useful references, with each proposed memory tied to a transcript turn.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when you want to scan a session, review save-worthy memories, and write approved memory files with the required metadata.
Why use it?
It helps preserve information that should carry into later work without inventing memories. It also requires confirmation before writing the proposed memories.

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

memory-update 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 5d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 3 executable files (scripts/encode-memory-path.sh, scripts/resolve-paths.sh, scripts/scan-session.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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 94 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Scan session history, surface save-worthy moments, propose → confirm → write. Never fabricate — every proposal must cite a transcript turn.

Scope

Creates or revises memory files in the agent's memory directory. Does not delete, merge-stale, or audit existing files (that is memory-clean). Does not redact or sanitize (that is memory-sanitize).

Path resolution

SKILL_SCRIPTS="${MEMORY_UPDATE_SKILL_SCRIPTS:-$HOME/.claude/claude/skills/memory-update/scripts}"
MEMORY_DIR=$("$SKILL_SCRIPTS/resolve-paths.sh" memory_dir)
SESSION_HISTORY_GLOB=$("$SKILL_SCRIPTS/resolve-paths.sh" session_history_glob)

Abort on non-zero exit. Override MEMORY_UPDATE_SKILL_SCRIPTS if installed outside $HOME/.claude. Override MEMORY_DIR / SESSION_HISTORY_GLOB env vars to target a non-Claude-Code agent's layout.

Memory types and required sections

Read references/MEMORY-FRONTMATTER.md for the full schema. Key rules:

type Required extra sections
feedback **Why:** and **How to apply:**
project **Why:** and **How to apply:**
user none beyond frontmatter
reference none beyond frontmatter

Filename: <type>_<slug>.md. Slug: lowercase, hyphens only, ≤ 40 chars.

Workflow

1. Resolve paths (above)

2. Scan session history for proposals

Run scripts/scan-session.sh "$SESSION_HISTORY_GLOB" → JSON array:

[{ "type": "feedback", "slug": "prefer-foo", "evidence_turn_ids": ["uuid-123"],
   "draft_body": "...", "draft_index_entry": "- [Title](file.md) — hook" }, ...]

Read references/SIGNAL-HEURISTICS.md to understand which turns qualify. If the user triggered the skill with an explicit instruction ("remember that X"), synthesize a proposal from that instruction directly instead of scanning.

3. Present proposals and wait for confirmation

Render each proposal as:

Proposal N — type: feedback
Evidence: turn uuid-123 ("the user said 'stop doing X'")
Draft:
  ---
  name: …
  description: …
  type: feedback
  ---
  Rule text. **Why:** … **How to apply:** …
Index entry: - [Title](file.md) — hook (N chars)

What ships with it

5 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.
