childhood

childhood is a skill for Claude Code from thedotmack/claude-mem. It costs 49 tokens per session (1,113 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A release follow-up workflow that checks what users receive after a merge, publication, or deployment. It watches packages, production behavior, installed plugins, CI, and user reports during a defined observation period.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to verify release tags, deployments, packages, plugins, and late reports, record findings, and prepare verified fixes when needed.
Why use it?
A successful merge or publish command does not prove that the delivered release works. This helps distinguish real product regressions from unrelated infrastructure failures and keeps fixes within existing authorization.

About the project

Claude-Mem, now presented as Grok Mem, records an agent's work, compresses it with AI, and brings relevant notes into later sessions so the agent can remember decisions and next steps. It is intended for persistent context across agent conversations and supports multiple coding-agent environments. The catalogue add-ons provide the workflows and integrations used to operate this memory system.

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

childhood 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 yesterday.

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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 47 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Childhood

Stay with a release after it ships. Verify what users receive and what production serves, then fix verified regressions within the user's authorized scope. A successful merge or publish command is the start of this work.

Establish the release

  • Identify the repository, release version, immutable tag commit, merge commit, production deployment, and affected delivery surfaces. Use the release receipt and actual provider/registry state; do not guess from the current branch or today's latest build.
  • Record the release, observation start/end, checks, findings, and next action with work_state_write when available. Keep announcements and unrelated infrastructure failures distinguishable from product regressions.
  • Carry forward existing authorization. Monitoring does not itself authorize another release, rollback, production migration, or external announcement. Prepare and validate a concrete fix before requesting any authorization still missing.

Verify the delivered release

Choose the checks relevant to its delivery surfaces; independent checks can run in parallel.

Surface Evidence to collect
Source and CI Confirm the tag resolves to the shipped commit. Inspect CI for that commit and any release/changelog commits, including late failures. Paginate new issue reports, merged-PR comments, reviews, and review threads since release; verify actionable reports against the shipped code.
Published package Check the exact registry version and the intended distribution tag separately. Verify package hash, entry points, and required files in the downloaded artifact; run a small installed CLI smoke from an isolated directory. Preserve the command's actual exit code when filtering output.
Hosted service Confirm the live production alias serves the intended deployment/commit. Check health and the changed user path through the real authenticated interface, plus relevant error signals. For schema changes, verify the normal migration ledger reports no pending migrations or drift.
Installed plugin Discover the user's actual enabled registration/cache, not just the marketplace copy. Compare changed source/distribution artifacts and open a fresh tool connection. Compare the running worker's version/path to the enabled install; an updated cache can still talk to a stale process. Exercise the affected install/upgrade handoff where authorized. Check hooks or watcher configuration in their real project/runtime scope; label behavior you did not exercise as unverified.

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.
