Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00039 | $0.00244 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00016 | $0.00098 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00008 | $0.00049 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00004 | $0.00024 |
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 1mo 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.md— required when writing or editing any memory-bank file (style, length, hygiene rules).memory-bank/tasks/process.md— RAM-layer workflow fortasks/work/andtasks/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.
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.

dmb-memory-bank is a skill published in the GitHub repository pmikutel/directed-memory-bank (6 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 39 tokens to every session and 244 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. 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.

02-project-memory
Build the project's memory of its architecture, conventions, and decisions, and wire it into your AI tools. Use when the user wants to set up or refresh project memory, or rewire it into a tool. Not for editing one existing memory file.
10-learn
Capture durable project learnings. Use when the user wants to remember, record, or formalize a decision, convention, lesson, pitfall, reusable workflow, or review finding. Not for preferences or temporary notes.
contorium-workspace-memory
Use Contorium workspace memory layers (focus, session events, Git, export) when resuming AI work or avoiding repeated project explanation.
knowledge-org
A guide to organising large bodies of knowledge so an AI system can navigate relationships, summaries, and layers instead of searching only flat text chunks. It covers tree indexes, knowledge graphs, file-like structures, incremental updates, and long-term memory layouts.
memory-system
A guide to giving an AI agent persistent, user-specific memory across conversations. It covers what to remember, how to store it, how to update or compress it, and when to use memory instead of a shared knowledge base.
kb-builder
Build an Obsidian-compatible knowledge base from public web sources using the TinyFish CLI. Use this skill when a user wants a builder-grade markdown knowledge base on a technical topic, asks for a structured research vault, or wants a topic compiled from live public sources into interlinked markdown files.
