remember

A review process for automatic memory entries and project instruction files. It suggests where useful memories belong but does not change the files.

In plain words
What is it for?
Comparing memory with CLAUDE.md files, classifying entries, and preparing proposed updates for user approval.
Why use it?
It helps find outdated, conflicting, duplicate, or misplaced instructions before they affect future work.

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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

remember 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.

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 Review

Goal

Review the user's memory landscape and produce a clear report of proposed changes, grouped by action type. Do NOT apply changes - present proposals for user approval.

Steps

1. Gather all memory layers

Read CLAUDE.md and CLAUDE.local.md from the project root (if they exist). Your auto-memory content is already in your system prompt - review it there. Note which team memory sections exist, if any.

Success criteria: You have the contents of all memory layers and can compare them.

2. Classify each auto-memory entry

For each substantive entry in auto-memory, determine the best destination:

Destination What belongs there Examples
CLAUDE.md Project conventions and instructions for Claude that all contributors should follow "use bun not npm", "API routes use kebab-case", "test command is bun test", "prefer functional style"
CLAUDE.local.md Personal instructions for Claude specific to this user, not applicable to other contributors "I prefer concise responses", "always explain trade-offs", "don't auto-commit", "run tests before committing"
Team memory Org-wide knowledge that applies across repositories (only if team memory is configured) "deploy PRs go through #deploy-queue", "staging is at staging.internal", "platform team owns infra"
Stay in auto-memory Working notes, temporary context, or entries that don't clearly fit elsewhere Session-specific observations, uncertain patterns

Important distinctions:

  • CLAUDE.md and CLAUDE.local.md contain instructions for Claude, not user preferences for external tools (editor theme, IDE keybindings, etc. don't belong in either)
  • Workflow practices (PR conventions, merge strategies, branch naming) are ambiguous - ask the user whether they're personal or team-wide
  • When unsure, ask rather than guess

Success criteria: Each entry has a proposed destination or is flagged as ambiguous.

3. Identify cleanup opportunities

Scan across all layers for:

  • Duplicates: Auto-memory entries already captured in CLAUDE.md or CLAUDE.local.md → propose removing from auto-memory
  • Outdated: CLAUDE.md or CLAUDE.local.md entries contradicted by newer auto-memory entries → propose updating the older layer
  • Conflicts: Contradictions between any two layers → propose resolution, noting which is more recent

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.

remember is a skill published in the GitHub repository sneg55/agent-starter (76 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 38 tokens to every session and 809 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.
