dmb-memory-bank

dmb-memory-bank is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from pmikutel/directed-memory-bank. It costs 39 tokens per session (244 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A routing guide for loading a project's memory-bank inventory and essential project documents when working in an unfamiliar codebase.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when starting a new operation, learning how a repository is organised, or preparing to edit memory-bank files.
Why use it?
It helps the coding agent find the project's existing knowledge and task context before making changes. It also gives instructions for writing to the memory-bank directory.

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

dmb-memory-bank 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 10d ago.

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

dmb-memory-bank

Routing skill for loading DMB context on demand. Loads the inventory and project essentials so the agent knows what exists and how to navigate it.

Load:

  • memory-bank/_index.md — the inventory of what files exist.
  • memory-bank/project/brief.md — project overview.
  • memory-bank/project/doc-guide.mdrequired when writing or editing any memory-bank file (style, length, hygiene rules).
  • memory-bank/tasks/process.md — RAM-layer workflow for tasks/work/ and tasks/log/.

If a memory-bank/tasks/work/*.md file has branch: matching the current git branch, also load it as live scratchpad context.

No knowledge in this file — the listed files are the source. Same SKILL.md format works in Claude Code (.claude/skills/) and Codex CLI (.agents/skills/); this skill is portable across tools.

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.
