remember is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from vahidkaargar/it-department-skills. It costs 29 tokens per session (801 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of remember, MIT.

A tool for explicitly saving important facts to an agent's automatic memory. These facts can include project decisions, debugging discoveries, conventions, or user preferences.

In plain words
What is it for?
Recording project-specific instructions, hard-won debugging insights, architecture decisions, tool-specific issues, and coding preferences.
Why use it?
It keeps valuable knowledge from being lost between tasks or left for the agent to notice and save automatically.

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 11d 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.

Origin

This is a copy

92% identical to remember — 26 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 102 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

remember — Save Knowledge Explicitly

Writes an explicit entry to auto-memory when something is important enough that you don't want to rely on Claude noticing it automatically.

Usage

/remember <what to remember>
/remember "This project's CI requires Node 20 LTS — v22 breaks the build"
/remember "The /api/auth endpoint uses a custom JWT library, not passport"
/remember "Reza prefers explicit error handling over try-catch-all patterns"

When to Use

Situation Example
Hard-won debugging insight "CORS errors on /api/upload are caused by the CDN, not the backend"
Project convention not in CLAUDE.md "We use barrel exports in src/components/"
Tool-specific gotcha "Jest needs --forceExit flag or it hangs on DB tests"
Architecture decision "We chose Drizzle over Prisma for type-safe SQL"
Preference you want Claude to learn "Don't add comments explaining obvious code"

Workflow

Step 1: Parse the knowledge

Extract from the user's input:

  • What: The concrete fact or pattern
  • Why it matters: Context (if provided)
  • Scope: Project-specific or global?

Step 2: Check for duplicates

Use the auto-memory directory Claude Code announces in its system prompt (the "Memory" section names the exact path). Fallback if unknown:

MEMORY_DIR="$HOME/.claude/projects/$(pwd | tr '/.' '--')/memory"
grep -ni "<keywords>" "$MEMORY_DIR/MEMORY.md" 2>/dev/null

If a similar entry exists:

  • Show it to the user
  • Ask: "Update the existing entry or add a new one?"

Step 3: Write to MEMORY.md

Append to the end of MEMORY.md:

- {{concise fact or pattern}}

Keep entries concise — one line when possible. Auto-memory entries don't need timestamps, IDs, or metadata. They're notes, not database records.

If MEMORY.md is over 180 lines, warn the user:

⚠️ MEMORY.md is at {{n}}/200 lines. Consider running /si:review to free space.

Step 4: Suggest promotion

If the knowledge sounds like a rule (imperative, always/never, convention):

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.
