memory-optimization-workflow

memory-optimization-workflow is a skill for Claude Code from yeaight7/agent-powerups. It costs 39 tokens per session (640 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A decision guide for choosing how to inspect a mixed set of files while using as little context as possible. It compares direct reading, format conversion, building a knowledge graph, updating one, and querying it.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to choose an inspection method for mixed files, repeated questions, changed sources, PDFs, office documents, or noisy web pages.
Why use it?
It avoids rereading large files or rebuilding stored information when a cheaper route is available. It also makes missing required tools and unsuitable cases clear.

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-optimization-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 Optimization Workflow

Overview

Minimize token spend, reread cost, and unnecessary rebuilds.

graphify is the main optimization path for repeated work. Helper tools exist to make hard sources cheaper before graph or direct reading.

When to Use

  • mixed corpus and the cheapest inspection path is unclear
  • repeated questions over the same files
  • need to choose between direct read, conversion, graph build, update, or query
  • want to reduce repeated large-context rereads

Do not use for:

  • tiny single-file questions where direct reading is already cheapest
  • cases where the user explicitly wants raw-file inspection only

Required Checks

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

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

Fast Routing

Situation Cheapest path
small readable text corpus, one question read directly
PDF, Office doc, or other binary-like source markitdown-file-intake
noisy web page or article defuddle
repeated questions across same corpus build with graphify
existing graph plus changed sources graphify --update
existing graph plus new question query graph first

Decision Rules

  • prefer direct reading for small plain-text scope
  • prefer Markdown over binary or chrome-heavy formats
  • prefer graph query over full reread when a graph already exists
  • prefer incremental update over rebuild
  • keep helper tools secondary to the main graph path
  • keep Obsidian optional; it is not part of the optimization decision unless the user wants vault browsing

Escalation Ladder

  1. Direct read if scope is already small and readable.
  2. Convert only if format is the main source of waste.
  3. Build graph memory when questions will repeat or corpus is broad.
  4. Update existing graph when sources changed.
  5. Query existing graph before any broad reread.

Common Failure Modes

  • building a graph for a tiny one-shot question
  • rereading large corpora after a graph already exists
  • converting already-readable Markdown or code
  • rebuilding instead of updating
  • making helper tools feel primary instead of supportive

memory-optimization-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 640 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.
