iris-development

iris-development is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from redis/agent-skills. It costs 90 tokens per session (971 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

Guidance for Redis Agent Memory, a managed Redis Cloud service that stores an AI agent's conversation history and searchable long-term memories. A background process can extract lasting facts from session history.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to record agent sessions, create or search lasting memories, configure a memory store, and adjust how session events become long-term memories using Python or TypeScript.
Why use it?
It explains how to keep useful information across conversations instead of losing it when a session ends. It also clarifies how session memory, long-term memory, stores, and the service's SDKs fit together.

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

iris-development 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 4d 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.

Iris: Redis Agent Memory

Iris is the umbrella brand for Redis's AI-focused products. This skill currently covers one product in that family: Redis Agent Memory (RAM) — the persistent memory layer for AI agents, delivered as a managed service on Redis Cloud. Additional Iris products will be added as separate sections when they ship.

Redis Agent Memory exposes a REST/JSON data-plane API with two memory tiers:

  • Session memory — append-only conversation history per session (working memory).
  • Long-term memory — semantically searchable records extracted from sessions (or created directly).

A background promotion worker — managed by Redis Cloud — extracts durable facts from session events and writes them into long-term memory.

Official SDKs

All code samples use the official SDKs:

Language Package Class Install
Python redis-agent-memory AgentMemory pip install redis-agent-memory
TypeScript @redis-iris/agent-memory AgentMemory npm add @redis-iris/agent-memory

Both SDKs read the bearer token from AGENT_MEMORY_API_KEY and the default store ID from AGENT_MEMORY_STORE_ID. The production data-plane URL is https://gcp-us-east4.memory.redis.io; the exact URL for your service is also shown in the Cloud console after provisioning.

When to Apply

Reference these guidelines when:

  • Creating a memory service on Redis Cloud (https://cloud.redis.io/#/agent-memory)
  • Wiring an agent to call AgentMemory.add_session_event(...) / addSessionEvent(...)
  • Searching long-term memory with search_long_term_memory(...) / searchLongTermMemory(...)
  • Choosing between session events and direct long-term memory writes

Rule Categories by Priority

Priority Category Impact Prefix
1 Setup & Cloud Service HIGH setup-
2 Session Memory / Events HIGH session-
3 Long-Term Memory HIGH ltm-
4 Memory Promotion MEDIUM promotion-

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.

iris-development is a skill published in the GitHub repository redis/agent-skills (140 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 90 tokens to every session and 971 once invoked, about $0.0005 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.
