project-memory-writing

project-memory-writing is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from robotaitai/project-bedrock. It costs 40 tokens per session (1,301 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A writing guide for creating stable project memory notes in an agent-knowledge/Memory/ folder. It says to verify facts against current source material before recording them and defines required note structure.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when creating or updating project memory notes, including branch notes, subtopics, current state, and recent changes.
Why use it?
It reduces stale, speculative, or unverified information in notes that future agents may rely on.

Skill for Claude CodeCodex

Written for no agent in particular: nothing here depends on one.

Needs its repository: it reads a path above its own folder, which exists only inside the repository. The line is - [2025-01-15-use-raw-sql.md](../decisions/2025-01-15-use-raw-sql.md) -- raw SQL over ORM.

Good fit Use it when creating or updating project memory notes, including branch notes, subtopics, current state, and recent changes.

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-writing 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 9d 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.

Project Memory Writing

Focused rules for writing durable memory notes. This is the craft side of memory management: how to write notes that stay useful across sessions and agents.

When to use this skill

  • Creating a new branch note or subtopic note
  • Updating Current State or Recent Changes sections
  • Reviewing a note that has grown noisy or stale
  • Any time the question is "how should I write this?"

For tree structure and reading strategy, see memory-management. For bootstrapping from scratch, see project-ontology-bootstrap.


Verification first

Before writing anything to Memory/, verify the fact against the source:

Source type Verification requirement
Code file Read the actual file, not a cached summary
Test Run it or check its current state in the test output
Decision Confirm it is still active (not reversed)
Config Read the current config file, not old docs
Agent output Treat as hypothesis until confirmed

Do NOT write:

  • Speculative plans
  • In-progress task state (use Sessions/)
  • Raw agent summaries without verification
  • Facts that change faster than once per week

Required frontmatter

Every Memory/ note must open with YAML frontmatter:

---
note_type: <type>
area: <branch-name>
updated: <YYYY-MM-DD>
---

note_type values: durable-memory-root (for MEMORY.md), branch-entry, branch-leaf, decision.

Do not add extra frontmatter fields that tools or other agents don't need.


Required sections for branch notes

Use this section order. Keep each section focused.

## Purpose
One sentence. What this branch covers. Rarely changes.

## Current State
Bullet list of verified facts about what is true right now.
- Lead each bullet with the fact itself.
- Do not describe what you "observed" -- state what IS.
- Each bullet should be independently verifiable.

## Recent Changes
Rolling log. Newest first. YYYY-MM-DD format. Prune to ~8 entries.
- 2025-01-15 - Switched from Prisma to raw SQL. See decisions/.
- 2025-01-10 - Added retry logic to all DB calls.

## Decisions
Links to decision files that affect this area.
- [2025-01-15-use-raw-sql.md](../decisions/2025-01-15-use-raw-sql.md) -- raw SQL over ORM

## Open Questions
Unresolved items. Remove when resolved.
- Why does the worker pool size default to 4? Is this tuned or a placeholder?

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-writing is a skill published in the GitHub repository robotaitai/project-bedrock (45 stars, last pushed 19d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 40 tokens to every session and 1,301 once invoked, about $0.0002 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.
