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.
Getting it into your agent
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.

These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00094 | $0.01949 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00047 | $0.00975 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00019 | $0.00390 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00009 | $0.00195 |
Grade A, and why
mode-creator 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 9d 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 — 163 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Mode Creator
Create a useful note-taking system, not merely a valid JSON file. Interview the user, propose a small taxonomy, obtain approval, install it durably, configure optional alerts, restart the worker, and prove the active mode appears in startup context.
Ground rules
- Use the available interactive question tool (
AskUserQuestion,request_user_input, or equivalent) for the interview. Ask in small batches and wait for each response. - Explain observation types as mutually exclusive kinds of notes and concepts as reusable tags. Avoid jargon unless the user uses it first.
- Inspect existing bundled and user modes before inventing a new one. Reuse or remix a close match when that serves the user better.
- Do not edit a plugin cache or bundled mode. Install custom files under the resolved claude-mem data directory's
modes/folder. - Do not expose a Telegram token in chat, command arguments, logs, or tool output. Treat it like a password.
- Preserve unrelated settings and existing Telegram triggers. The helpers make timestamped backups and merge requested triggers.
- Custom modes are supported by the local worker runtime. If
CLAUDE_MEM_RUNTIMEisserver, explain that this workflow cannot safely install a per-user mode into the shared server and stop before mutation. - Existing observations keep their original types. The new mode applies to future observation generation.
1. Open with the purpose
Begin with this message inside the first interactive question:
Custom modes let you take notes for whatever you're working on. If you're a law student, you may want to write down every time a case establishes a rule, a professor flags an exam trap, or doctrines conflict. If you're an architect, you may want to capture every design decision, code constraint, client preference, or site discovery. What are you working on?
Do not start by asking for a mode name or JSON fields. Learn the work first.
If the answer is code-related, say:
Code mode already works well for software work. A custom variant may work better if it also tracks [2–4 specific kinds of notes inferred from their work] and tags [2–4 useful cross-cutting themes]. Would you like to keep standard code mode or customize it?
What ships with it
5 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
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.

mode-creator is a skill published in the GitHub repository thedotmack/claude-mem (93,434 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 94 tokens to every session and 1,949 once invoked, about $0.0005 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.
