memory-management

memory-management is a skill for Claude Code from ruvnet/ruflo. It costs 95 tokens per session (787 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A persistent memory system for storing useful patterns and finding related past knowledge through meaning-based search. It can keep knowledge available across tasks and agents.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to save successful coding patterns, search for similar solutions, retrieve saved entries, and share knowledge between agents.
Why use it?
It reduces the need to rediscover solutions or repeat explanations in later work. It is useful when an agent needs to learn from earlier tasks rather than start with an empty context.

About the project

Ruflo is an execution and coordination layer for Claude Code and Codex that equips AI coding agents with tools, memory, control loops, sandboxes, and collaboration mechanisms. Developers use it to organize specialized agents into swarms, coordinate workflows, retain knowledge across sessions, and communicate across machines. The catalogue entries are Ruflo’s skills, commands, agents, hooks, and plugin components.

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

memory-management 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.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/memory-backup.sh, scripts/memory-consolidate.sh), 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.

Memory Management Skill

Purpose

AgentDB memory system with HNSW vector search. Provides 150x-12,500x faster pattern retrieval, persistent storage, and semantic search capabilities for learning and knowledge management.

When to Trigger

  • need to store successful patterns
  • searching for similar solutions
  • semantic lookup of past work
  • learning from previous tasks
  • sharing knowledge between agents
  • building knowledge base

When to Skip

  • no learning needed
  • ephemeral one-off tasks
  • external data sources available
  • read-only exploration

Commands

Store Pattern

Store a pattern or knowledge item in memory

npx @claude-flow/cli memory store --key "[key]" --value "[value]" --namespace patterns

Example:

npx @claude-flow/cli memory store --key "auth-jwt-pattern" --value "JWT validation with refresh tokens" --namespace patterns

Semantic Search

Search memory using semantic similarity

npx @claude-flow/cli memory search --query "[search terms]" --limit 10

Example:

npx @claude-flow/cli memory search --query "authentication best practices" --limit 5

Retrieve Entry

Retrieve a specific memory entry by key

npx @claude-flow/cli memory get --key "[key]" --namespace [namespace]

Example:

npx @claude-flow/cli memory get --key "auth-jwt-pattern" --namespace patterns

List Entries

List all entries in a namespace

npx @claude-flow/cli memory list --namespace [namespace]

Example:

npx @claude-flow/cli memory list --namespace patterns --limit 20

Delete Entry

Delete a memory entry

npx @claude-flow/cli memory delete --key "[key]" --namespace [namespace]

Initialize HNSW Index

Initialize HNSW vector search index

npx @claude-flow/cli memory init --enable-hnsw

Memory Stats

Show memory usage statistics

npx @claude-flow/cli memory stats

Export Memory

Export memory to JSON

npx @claude-flow/cli memory export --output memory-backup.json

Files

What ships with it

2 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.

memory-management is a skill published in the GitHub repository ruvnet/ruflo (70,696 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 95 tokens to every session and 787 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 2026-09-03.
