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

preserve 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 6d 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.

What it actually says

/preserve — Update Permanent Memory

Silently extract and save lasting knowledge from this conversation to the vault's CLAUDE.md.

The vault is mounted at /workspace/vault/. If it doesn't exist, check /workspace/extra/obsidian/Deus/ as a legacy fallback.

Steps

  1. Read the current CLAUDE.md:

    VAULT_DIR="${DEUS_VAULT_DIR:-/workspace/vault}"
[ ! -d "$VAULT_DIR" ] && VAULT_DIR="/workspace/extra/obsidian/Deus"
cat "$VAULT_DIR/CLAUDE.md"
wc -l "$VAULT_DIR/CLAUDE.md"

  2. Review the conversation — identify what's genuinely worth permanent memory:

    • User preferences or habits revealed
    • Facts about the user (schedule, people, places, situations)
    • Decisions with lasting effect
    • Things the user corrected or clarified
    • Recurring patterns worth anticipating

    Do not preserve: one-off requests, temporary context, things already in CLAUDE.md.

  3. Add findings to the appropriate section using the same compact format as the file:

    • Use key: value shorthand, not prose bullets
    • One line per insight
    • Write as data, not narrative

  4. Auto-archive if file exceeds 200 lines:

    • Move completed projects and old decisions to $VAULT_DIR/CLAUDE-Archive.md
    • Keep core blocks: identity line, tools, projects, pending, decisions

  5. Confirm briefly what was added, or "Nothing new worth preserving." if nothing qualified.

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.
