forgetful-entities

forgetful-entities is a skill for Claude Code from ScottRBK/forgetful. It costs 80 tokens per session (785 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A knowledge-graph tool for modelling people, organisations, devices, products, and system components as named things. Memories and relationships can then be attached to those things.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create and find entities, add alternate names, link entities to memories, and record relationships such as ownership, dependency, or membership.
Why use it?
It prevents facts about the same thing from being scattered under different names. Recording relationships makes it possible to trace what owns, depends on, or contains something.

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

forgetful-entities 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.

Modelling entities in Forgetful

Entities are the graph's nouns. Model the thing once, then let knowledge accrue to it through links — that is what makes get_entity_memories a useful reverse lookup later.

Invoking operations

Operations are named by registry name (create_entity, link_entity_to_memory, ...). Invoke via whichever surface this agent has:

  • MCP: execute_forgetful_tool(tool_name="create_entity", arguments={...})
  • CLI: forgetful call create_entity --args '{"name": "..."}' --json

Get any operation's schema at runtime: how_to_use_forgetful_tool (MCP) or forgetful tools info <operation> (CLI) — schemas are deliberately not repeated here.

Step 1 — Apply the litmus, then dedupe

Can you point at it? "Sarah Chen" is an entity; "Sarah is great at debugging async issues" is a memory linked to her. The fact stays a memory (forgetful-remember); the thing it is about becomes the entity.

Before creating, search_entities for the thing under its likely names — it matches both name and aka. Set aka at creation time for any alternative names the thing goes by, so a later dedupe search under a different name still finds it.

Done when: the thing either already exists (use it) or is confirmed new.

Step 2 — Create with a type

create_entity with a name and type: Organization, Individual, Team, Device, System, or Other (custom_type required when Other). Stored Title-case; matched case-insensitively on input. Check list_entities for the types already in use and match them — a graph where servers are sometimes typed "Device" and sometimes "System" fragments reverse lookups.

Done when: the entity exists once, typed consistently with the existing graph.

  • link_entity_to_memory whenever a memory is about the entity — done at capture time, this is one line; done later, it is an archaeology project.
  • link_entity_to_project when the entity belongs to a project's world.

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.

forgetful-entities is a skill published in the GitHub repository ScottRBK/forgetful (299 stars, last pushed 7d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 80 tokens to every session and 785 once invoked, about $0.0004 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.
