memory-offload

memory-offload is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Yeachan-Heo/clawhip. It costs 0 tokens per session (427 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A file-based memory system that keeps `MEMORY.md` as a small index and stores detailed notes in separate files under a structured `memory/` folder.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to organize execution logs, project state, agent profiles, channel notes, durable rules, and handoffs.
Why use it?
It prevents one large memory file from becoming difficult to read and keeps frequently needed information small. Agents can load only the relevant project, topic, channel, or date-based 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-offload 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 2mo 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.

What it actually says

clawhip × filesystem-offloaded memory

Use this skill when you want a Claw OS-style memory system where MEMORY.md stays small and points into a structured memory/ tree.

What you get

  • a clear role for MEMORY.md as pointer/index/current-beliefs layer
  • a practical read/write workflow for agents
  • guidance for sharding memory by time, channel, project, topic, and handoff
  • migration guidance away from monolithic memory files

Read order

  1. Read MEMORY.md first.
  2. Follow the pointer to the smallest relevant shard.
  3. Read subtree indexes only when needed.
  4. Avoid loading the whole memory tree by default.

Write order

  1. Write detailed updates to the canonical leaf shard.
  2. Update MEMORY.md only when the pointer map or current beliefs changed.
  3. If a section grows noisy, split it into a dedicated file.
  4. Archive cold history to keep the hot path small.

Default shard map

  • memory/daily/YYYY-MM-DD.md -> chronological execution log
  • memory/channels/<channel>.md -> one lane/channel
  • memory/projects/<project>.md -> project/repo state
  • memory/agents/<agent>.md -> agent/operator profile
  • memory/topics/rules.md -> durable operating rules
  • memory/topics/lessons.md -> reusable lessons
  • memory/handoffs/YYYY-MM-DD-<slug>.md -> bounded handoffs
  • memory/archive/YYYY-MM/ -> cold history

Offload triggers

Offload when:

  • MEMORY.md stops being easy to scan
  • one topic dominates the root file
  • detail is only relevant to one entity or workflow
  • logs or history start crowding out current beliefs

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.
