plur-create-engrams

plur-create-engrams is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from plur-ai/plur. It costs 66 tokens per session (3,056 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A tool for creating, improving, and reviewing structured memories called engrams from conversations, documents, decisions, observations, and preferences. Each memory records what is true, why it is true, where it came from, and where it should be used.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to extract memories, write them in the PLUR format, review proposed records, and manage global, scoped, pinned, retrieved, or provisional knowledge.
Why use it?
Unstructured notes can become too long, hard to find, or misleading when reused later. This approach keeps memories focused on information that can change a future answer or action.

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

plur-create-engrams 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 today.

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 — 151 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Create PLUR Engrams

An engram earns its place by changing a future answer, action, or interpretation. Two failures cost more than a missing memory: one that is too long to be read, and one that is never retrieved when it applies. Most of this skill is about those two.

Read PLUR format and compatibility before serializing. Use the spectrum catalog and examples explained for worked records; load only the ones you need.

The four fields do different jobs

Getting this wrong is the main cause of bloat. Each field has one job:

Field Job Test
statement The assertion. What to do or what is true. Could someone act on this alone?
rationale The mechanism that makes it true — and therefore when it stops being true. Does it name a condition that could fail?
source Where it came from: incident, date, speaker, document. Is this a citation rather than a reason?
tags / domain Where it should surface. See Findability below.

rationale is not "more explanation". "Because the user said so on 12 March" is a citation and belongs in source. A real rationale is falsifiable: if its mechanism stopped holding, the rule should be retired.

Worked example. A real engram, 1,454 characters:

A TRUNCATED memory injection means you do not have your memory — stop and read it in full before doing anything else. When plur_session_start returns more than the harness tool-result limit, the payload is spilled to a file and you receive only a pointer… Proven 2026-09-07: session_start returned 115,052 chars, ~5,000 were read (4%), and four engrams forbidding what happened next were in the unread 96% — ENG-…, ENG-…. A customer name was then narrated to a live audience. Nothing malfunctioned… Rule: on any spilled injection, slice the whole file in ~80,000-char spans…

Eleven claims in one record. The instruction appears in sentence 1 and again at character 1,180; everything between is justification written to pre-empt disagreement. Rewritten, 198 characters:

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.
