Memory

Memory is a skill for Claude Code from the-metafactory/soma. It costs 85 tokens per session (1,033 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A file-based memory system that stores facts, procedures, session summaries, and action logs as Markdown notes. A command-line tool manages, indexes, consolidates, and checks these notes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to save or recall facts and how-to instructions, record sessions and actions, rebuild the note index, and audit the health of the memory files.
Why use it?
It reduces the need to repeat durable project or user information between sessions. It also keeps long-term facts separate from temporary session history.

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 — 76 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Memory

Soma memory is a files-first store of markdown notes under the memory/ tree. Every note carries frontmatter (id, type, created, last_verified, provenance, trust, source_of_truth, links, resurface_count). There is NO model in the loop: each operation is a deterministic soma memory CLI subcommand. This skill routes a memory request to the right subcommand and reads back its result — it never edits note files by hand.

Note model (what lives where)

Type Dir What it holds Trust
semantic memory/semantic/ durable facts principal or assistant
procedural memory/procedural/ durable how-to / SOPs principal or assistant
episodic memory/episodic/sessions,actions/ session digests + planned-action logs assistant
(generated) memory/INDEX.md the earned-inclusion index over durable notes —
(archive) memory/archive/ pruned episodic notes + monthly digests —

Trust is DERIVED from how a note was written, never set by a flag. A principal-correction write needs --principal-authority; import writes are lower trust. Episodic notes (session digests, action logs) are written at assistant trust by the assistant itself. Consolidation NEVER mints or elevates trust — it only ages or relocates existing notes.

Fast Path

  1. Identify the requested operation from the routing table.
  2. Load ONLY that workflow file from Workflows/.
  3. Run the single soma memory command it specifies; report its output verbatim.
  4. Never hand-edit files under memory/ — the CLI owns the schema, INDEX, and event log. A hand edit can desync the INDEX; the audit flags a note NEWER than INDEX by mtime, but a mtime-preserving edit slips past — always run soma memory reindex after any manual change.

Routing

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 the-metafactory/soma (8 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 85 tokens to every session and 1,033 once invoked, about $0.0003 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 2026-08-31.
