memory-build-workflow

memory-build-workflow is a skill for Claude Code from yeaight7/agent-powerups. It costs 39 tokens per session (676 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A workflow for building or refreshing persistent knowledge-graph memory from a folder of files. It can choose direct graph building, incremental updates, or conversion of difficult source formats before ingestion.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create graph memory for a repository, notes folder, research corpus, or mixed files, and to refresh that memory after sources change.
Why use it?
It avoids treating a large or mixed collection as a one-off reading task when future questions would benefit from stored relationships. It also directs small, simple questions away from unnecessary graph building.

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-build-workflow 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.

Memory Build Workflow

Overview

Build persistent graph memory with graphify.

Use helper tools only when source format would otherwise reduce graph quality or waste context.

When to Use

  • first graph build for a repo, notes folder, research corpus, or mixed raw folder
  • corpus changed enough that persistent graph memory is worth refreshing
  • input includes PDFs, Office docs, or noisy web pages that should be normalized before graph build
  • user wants durable graph outputs instead of one-shot file reading

Do not use for:

  • one small plain-text file or a narrow one-off question
  • cases where an existing graph already answers the question better via query

Required Checks

apx check graphify
apx check markitdown-file-intake
apx check defuddle

Stop and report missing tools. Do not auto-install without approval.

Routing

Situation Action
ready local corpus of readable files run graphify
existing graph plus changed sources run graphify --update
PDF, Office doc, slide deck, or similar hard-to-read format convert with markitdown-file-intake, then build with graphify
article or noisy web page clean with defuddle, then build with graphify
user wants vault browsing after build offer optional Obsidian export

Core Rules

  • graphify is the primary engine
  • prefer graphify --update over full rebuild when a graph already exists
  • use helpers only to improve source readability before graph ingestion
  • keep Obsidian optional and post-build
  • keep source provenance intact when converting inputs

Minimal Workflow

  1. Check whether a usable graph already exists.
  2. If it exists and sources changed, prefer graphify --update.
  3. If sources are noisy or binary, normalize them with the narrowest helper.
  4. Build or refresh with graphify.
  5. Offer query workflow next instead of rereading the corpus.

Common Failure Modes

  • missing graphify: stop and report; no fallback build path
  • rebuilding from scratch when update would work: unnecessary cost and churn
  • using helpers on already-readable Markdown or code: wasted step
  • treating Obsidian as required: wrong; it is optional output only

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.

memory-build-workflow is a skill published in the GitHub repository yeaight7/agent-powerups (6 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 39 tokens to every session and 676 once invoked, about $0.0002 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 2026-09-14.
