Why use it?
It helps preserve project knowledge and make it available across coding sessions and supported AI tools.

Skill for Claude CodeCodex

Which agent this was written for is unclear — built for openclaw. Also seen: mentions CLAUDE.md; mentions Claude Code; mentions Codex.

Needs its repository: it reads a path above its own folder, which exists only inside the repository. The line is **The CLI is the primary way to interact with memories.sh.** Use it to store memories, generate native config files, and manage your memory store. For environme.

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

memories-cli 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 178 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

memories-cli

CLI reference for @memories.sh/cli — manage memories, generate configs, and sync across tools.

The CLI is the primary way to interact with memories.sh. Use it to store memories, generate native config files, and manage your memory store. For environments where the CLI isn't available (v0, bolt.new, Lovable, or other browser-based agents), use the MCP server as a fallback.

Install & Init

npm install -g @memories.sh/cli   # or: npx @memories.sh/cli
memories init                      # Initialize in current project

memories init auto-detects AI tools (Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, VS Code) and configures MCP + generates instruction files.

Command Quick Reference

Command Purpose
memories add <content> Store a memory
memories recall Context-aware memories for current project
memories search <query> Full-text search
memories list List memories with filters
memories edit <id> Edit content, type, or tags
memories forget <id> Soft-delete a memory
memories generate Generate AI tool config files
memories prompt Generate a system prompt
memories serve Start MCP server
memories session <subcommand> Manage explicit sessions (start, checkpoint, status, end, snapshot)
memories compact run Run inactivity compaction worker
memories consolidate run Merge duplicates and supersede stale truths
memories openclaw memory <subcommand> OpenClaw file-mode workflows (bootstrap, flush, snapshot, sync)
memories reminders Manage cron reminders (add, list, run, enable, disable, delete)

Core Workflows

1. New Project Setup

cd my-project
memories init              # Detect tools, configure MCP, generate files
memories add "Use pnpm" --type rule
memories add "Chose Supabase for auth" --type decision
memories generate          # Update all AI tool configs

Changes

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.
