memory

memory is a skill for Claude Code from viknesh20-20/claude-code-tool-kit. It costs 46 tokens per session (815 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A tool for managing persistent notes about a project, user, or previous work. These notes are stored in a shared memory folder so later coding sessions can use them.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to list existing memories, search for relevant context, record project conventions or decisions, update stale notes, and clean up duplicates.
Why use it?
Important project decisions and context are easy to lose between sessions. It helps find, save, update, remove, and deduplicate those notes.

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

memory 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 1mo 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.

search <query>

Find memories whose name, description, or body matches the query. Use to remind yourself of context before answering a related question.

save

Walk through writing a new memory:

  1. Ask which type: project / user / feedback / reference.
  2. Ask for the title (slug becomes the filename).
  3. Ask for the description (one line — used for relevance scoring later).
  4. Ask for the body. For project/ and feedback/, prompt for Why: and How to apply: explicitly.
  5. Show the file you're about to write. Get confirmation.
  6. Write the file.
  7. Update .claude/memory/MEMORY.md index.

Frontmatter:

name: <title>

<body>

update <name>

Find the memory by name. Show its current contents. Ask what to change. Update the file and bump last-verified.

delete <name>

Find the memory. Show what would be deleted. Ask for confirmation. Delete the file and remove the line from MEMORY.md.

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.
