agentmemory-architecture

agentmemory-architecture is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from rmarquesa/agentmemory-offline. It costs 59 tokens per session (412 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of agentmemory-architecture, Apache-2.0.

A technical guide to agentmemory, a local service that records coding-agent observations and makes them searchable. It explains how the service stores, indexes, retrieves, and manages those memories through REST and MCP.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when inspecting storage and retrieval, understanding sessions and commit links, extending the system, or checking its local services and ports.
Why use it?
It helps explain where memories live and how they are found without relying on implementation guesses.

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

agentmemory-architecture 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.

Origin

This is a copy

100% identical to agentmemory-architecture — 0 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

What it actually says

agentmemory is a memory server for coding agents. It runs locally, captures observations, indexes them for hybrid retrieval, and serves them back over REST and MCP. It is built on the iii engine.

iii primitives

Everything is a function, a trigger, or worker state on the iii engine. There is no separate plugin system; the worker registers functions (mem::*) and HTTP triggers (api::*) and the engine routes calls. agentmemory does not bypass iii; new capability is a new function plus a trigger.

Retrieval model

Recall is hybrid: BM25 keyword search plus vector similarity plus graph expansion over linked concepts. The default install needs no API key because embeddings run on-device and BM25 needs none. An LLM provider only adds richer summaries and auto-injection, both opt-in.

Storage and lifecycle

Memories carry content, concepts, files, importance, and timestamps, grouped into sessions and optionally linked to commits. A lifecycle of capture, compress, consolidate, and forget keeps the store useful over time rather than letting it grow unbounded.

Ports

REST is the anchor at 3111. Streams = N+1 (3112), viewer = N+2 (3113), engine = N+46023 (49134). --instance N shifts the whole block by N*100.

Viewer

A real-time web viewer at http://localhost:3113 shows memory building as sessions run. Useful for demos and for confirming capture is working.

  • agentmemory-mcp-tools and agentmemory-rest-api for the surfaces.
  • agentmemory-hooks for automatic capture.

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.
