using-agent-memory

using-agent-memory is a skill for Claude Code from wiolett-industries/marketplace. It costs 64 tokens per session (1,482 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

Instructions for using Agent Memory, a separate system that stores reusable project facts and workflows between conversations.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it at conversation start, after losing context, or before substantial repository work involving past decisions, conventions, or setup.
Why use it?
It helps the agent decide when saved knowledge is relevant and avoids unnecessary or uncontrolled memory changes.

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

using-agent-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 4d 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.

Using Agent Memory

Agent Memory is the MCP-backed durable memory system. It is separate from Codex built-in memory, chat history, and .workflow/ artifacts. Use Codex built-in memory only as background; use Agent Memory MCP for durable repo facts and reusable workflows when its tools are available.

Retrieval Gate

At conversation start, after compaction, or before non-trivial repository work, decide whether durable knowledge can change the answer or execution path. Do not wait for the user to explicitly ask for memory.

  • For non-trivial repository work, run one memory read after the repo root is known whenever prior decisions, conventions, failures, setup, architecture, or user preferences could affect the result.
  • Use memory_recap when the task needs broad recovery across several memories; use memory_query for a focused question; use memory_recall only with a non-empty memory_id already returned by query/list/recap or named explicitly by the user. Never use memory_recall as the first semantic search or startup recall.
  • Query global only when a cross-project user preference or stable work habit could matter.
  • Skip the MCP read only for self-contained facts, trivial formatting, translation, or work whose outcome cannot reasonably depend on durable context.
  • Escalate to memory_recall, memory_list, or memory_inspect only when the focused query identifies a relevant entry, the index appears stale, or memory health itself is under investigation.

Pass the absolute workspace_root for project reads and writes whenever server cwd may differ from the repo. When the user explicitly asks about another project or names its path, keep scope: project and pass that other project's absolute root to memory_query (focused) or memory_recap (broad); this reads only that project's store and never initializes it. Do not scan sibling projects or write to another root unless the user explicitly authorizes that operation. An empty project result is not proof that memory is absent until the root and index/deep view have been checked.

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.

using-agent-memory is a skill published in the GitHub repository wiolett-industries/marketplace (10 stars, last pushed 3d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 64 tokens to every session and 1,482 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
