project-memory

project-memory is a skill for Codex from qingye-lab/rootloom. It costs 47 tokens per session (1,031 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A repository-owned memory system for storing architecture decisions, risks, failures, and lessons in a small local directory. It is an experimental reference, not an automatic activity log or project authority.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to initialize, retrieve, and explicitly update project memory, with evidence links for decisions and lessons that may affect future work.
Why use it?
It helps preserve durable engineering knowledge between tasks while requiring each entry to be checked against the current code and evidence.

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

project-memory 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.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/project_memory.py), 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 — 107 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Rootloom Memory

Keep a small, local, reviewable memory in .project-memory/. This Skill is shipped by the separately installed rootloom-memory plugin, never by Rootloom Core. It is an experimental engineering aid, not an authority, prerequisite, or automatic activity log.

Rules

  • Query memory at task intake by the paths and intent actually in scope; do not inject the whole project history when only a few entries are relevant.
  • Treat every result as a lead. Verify it against current source, tests, schemas, manifests, CI, and runtime evidence.
  • Record only durable facts or explicitly labeled hypotheses that will change a future engineering decision. Do not copy task transcripts, model reasoning, raw logs, credentials, or sensitive payloads.
  • Attach compact evidence references when practical. Prefer current repository paths, test names, issue/trace references, or accepted decision records over pasted evidence.
  • Never initialize, record, resolve, supersede, or refresh memory silently. Every write is an explicit command followed by diff review.
  • Keep accepted architecture and contract decisions in the repository's durable decision-record convention; decisions.json is only a relevant index. Maintain stable ownership and dependency rules in architecture.md with current evidence links.

Initialize

python3 <skill-dir>/scripts/project_memory.py --repo /path/to/repo init

This creates the compatible rootloom-project-memory-v1 files only when absent:

.project-memory/
├── README.md
├── architecture.md
├── known-risks.json
├── decisions.json
└── failures.json

Retrieve relevant context

Use repeatable paths plus the task intent. Context is read-only, bounded, and excludes expired, resolved, or superseded entries by default:

python3 <skill-dir>/scripts/project_memory.py --repo /path/to/repo context \
  --path src/relay.py \
  --query 'fix reconnect ordering' \
  --limit 8

The result keeps architecture, failures, risks, and decisions as direct fields for compatibility. selection explains the query/truncation, while stale names matching historical entries that must not silently influence the current decision. Use --include-stale only when investigating history.

What ships with it

3 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.

project-memory is a skill published in the GitHub repository qingye-lab/rootloom (10 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 47 tokens to every session and 1,031 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.
