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 12d 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.

What it actually says

remember

Overview

Saves a user preference, constraint, or fact to REMEMBER.md so it persists across sessions. The user chooses scope (global or project).

When to Use

  • User explicitly says "remember...", "always...", "never...", "don't forget..."
  • User states a clear preference or constraint worth persisting (e.g., "I use bun not npm")
  • User provides identity or context info they'd want every session to know

Instructions

  1. Distill what the user wants to remember into one concise line (imperative form, no filler).

    • Good: "Use bun instead of npm for all package management"
    • Bad: "The user mentioned they prefer bun over npm and would like us to always use it"
  2. Ask the user which scope using AskUserQuestion:

Which scope should this apply to?
- Global: applies to all projects
- Project: applies only to this project
  1. Get the plugin scripts path from the SessionStart injection in your context: Plugin scripts path: /path/to/scripts

  2. Run the remember script:

bash "<plugin_scripts_path>/remember.sh" "<scope>" "<content>"

Where:

  • plugin_scripts_path: the path from SessionStart injection
  • scope: global or project
  • content: the distilled one-liner (quote it properly for shell)

Rules

  • One entry per invocation — don't batch multiple items
  • Distill to a clear imperative statement, not a description of what happened
  • If the user's intent is ambiguous, ask for clarification before writing
  • Do NOT remember session-specific or temporary information (e.g., "I'm debugging auth today")

Examples

User says Distilled entry
"Remember I always use bun" Use bun instead of npm for package management
"Never auto-commit without asking" Never auto-commit; always ask before committing
"My name is Alex" User's name is Alex
"For this project, always run tests with --verbose" Run tests with --verbose flag (project scope)

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.
