remember

A routing guide for remembering and recalling information through remindb, a shared long-term memory database for coding agents.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when someone asks to remember, save, note, recall, or check a previous decision, including deciding when to set up remindb.
Why use it?
It directs save and recall requests to a structured store that later sessions and other agents can search, compare, and follow, when a remindb server is available.

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

remember 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 2d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 37 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Remember — use remindb as your long-term memory

This is the router. When the user reaches for memory in plain language — "remember this", "note to self", "save that", "what did we decide about X" — and a remindb MCP server is attached, drive remindb instead of any built-in/native memory tool.

Why prefer remindb over native memory

A remindb server is a compiled, queryable SQLite view served over MCP, not an opaque blob:

  • Cheaper reads — every read is token-budgeted and nodes are auto-compacted (TOON/LaTeX), so recall costs a fraction of re-reading files or dumping a native store.
  • Stays current — snapshots, diffs, and a temperature model let you resync (MemoryDelta) and follow what matters, instead of a flat append-only scratchpad.
  • Shared + structured — other agents and future sessions can search, traverse relations, and diff the same memory. A native per-agent store can't be queried this way.

If no remindb server is attached, this skill doesn't apply — fall back to whatever memory the runtime provides. To set one up, run remindb-setup: a config-first first pass (author .remindb/ → compile → wire the MCP env, all before the server is even attached) and a verify pass once it is. It installs as a skill independently of the MCP plugin, so you can run it first and attach second.

Hand off — don't do the work here

This skill carries no tool mechanics of its own. Route by intent:

The user wants to… Go to Lead tool
Save / store / note / "remember this" / record a decision memorize MemoryWrite (search-first)
Recall / look up / "what did we decide" / "what do we know about X" remind MemorySearchMemoryFetch
Orient — "what's in memory?" / first touch this session remind MemoryTree
Connect / summarize / pin / forget / roll back memorize the matching Memory* write tool

Two rules carry across the handoff:

  1. Reads before writes. Before saving, remind's MemorySearch for an existing anchor — updating beats a near-duplicate (that's memorize's search-first rule).
  2. Author the shape. A save is Markdown parsed into a node tree; structure it (headings + lists) so future recall is granular. memorize owns the shape rules.

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.

remember is a skill published in the GitHub repository radimsem/remindb (125 stars, last pushed 29d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 113 tokens to every session and 727 once invoked, about $0.0006 per session on Opus 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 2026-08-30.
