memory

memory is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from tallesborges/zdx. It costs 46 tokens per session (2,220 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for finding, reading, and saving durable notes and other personal information in a structured memory store. It defines where notes and calendar records belong and how they should be discovered.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for memory searches, factual questions that may already be documented, saving notes, and following the project's filing conventions.
Why use it?
It prevents important information from being scattered across files or saved in the wrong location, making past knowledge easier to find and maintain.

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 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 1mo 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 231 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Memory

Use ZDX's native memory tools and the user's markdown notes under $ZDX_MEMORY_ROOT.

This skill is about routing, note-saving, and filing conventions. It is not the search implementation and does not replace Memory_Search / Thread_Search.

Follow the existing note structure you find in memory.

Paths

  • Memory root: $ZDX_MEMORY_ROOT
  • Notes: $ZDX_MEMORY_ROOT/Notes
  • Calendar: $ZDX_MEMORY_ROOT/Calendar
  • Memory index: $ZDX_MEMORY_ROOT/Notes/MEMORY.md

Memory discovery is backed by ZDX's native SQLite index. Prefer memory tools before raw file searches.

  • Use $ZDX_MEMORY_ROOT directly in tool arguments.
  • Treat $ZDX_MEMORY_ROOT as a container directory, not a note location.
  • Do not create .md files directly under $ZDX_MEMORY_ROOT; use Notes/ for regular notes and Calendar/ for period notes.
  • Ignore @Archive/ and @Trash/ unless the user asks.
  • Do not guess alternate memory locations; derive from $ZDX_MEMORY_ROOT.

Default workflow

  1. Check the embedded <memory_index> block to find likely notes.
  2. Use Memory_Search for discovery across exported threads, notes, and calendar files.
  3. Open the hits you care about: read the path for notes and calendar, Read_Thread the thread_id for threads.
  4. Answer directly, or edit the relevant note with apply_patch.
  5. When saving memory, write full detail to a note first, then decide whether MEMORY.md needs a concise pointer.

Tool patterns

Search memory

Use Memory_Search for open-ended memory discovery. It searches the native memory index for:

  • exported conversation threads
  • canonical notes under $ZDX_MEMORY_ROOT/Notes
  • canonical calendar files under $ZDX_MEMORY_ROOT/Calendar

Search by names, project terms, decisions, URLs, paths, commands, errors, or distinctive phrases. Do not manually slug note paths or guess filesystem names; let search return the path.

Start with a focused natural-language query and a small limit. Prefer limit:5-10, then open the best 1-3 hits. If results are weak, run a second search with synonyms, aliases, acronyms, or the likely project/person name.

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 is a skill published in the GitHub repository tallesborges/zdx (20 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 46 tokens to every session and 2,220 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. 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.
