shared_agent-memory-usage

A command-line guide for agent-memory, a Git-backed system that stores an agent's knowledge and work history in Markdown files with YAML metadata. It organizes information by purpose, such as reference knowledge, active tasks, dates, and indexes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to initialize memory folders, list and search entries, manage metadata, and connect the memory system to agent workflows.
Why use it?
It gives agents a predictable way to save, find, and reuse information without relying on one large undifferentiated memory store.

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

shared_agent-memory-usage 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 630 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

agent-memory CLI

Progressive disclosure memory management for autonomous agents. Git-backed markdown with YAML frontmatter. Structure IS the memory -- discovery over retrieval.

CLI Commands

All commands accept --json-output as a global flag before the subcommand name.

1. init -- Create Agent Directory Structure

memory init <agent-id> --base memory

Creates standard subdirectories for a new agent:

memory/<agent-id>/
  atlas/        # Reference knowledge ("what I know")
  efforts/      # Project/task tracking ("what I'm working on")
  calendar/     # Time-based entries ("what happened when")
  moc/          # Maps of content (indices, navigation)

2. ls -- List Entries (Level 1)

memory ls <directory>

Lists .md files in a directory with frontmatter descriptions and confidence levels. Only reads frontmatter, not file bodies.

  swarm-messaging.md -- "How the swarm messaging protocol works" [established]
  deployment-guide.md -- "Step-by-step deployment for ASP nodes" [working]

If no .md files exist, lists subdirectories instead.

3. toc -- Table of Contents (Level 2)

memory toc <file>

Shows all ## section headers with their description lines. Reads frontmatter + headers only, not full section content.

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.
