remember

remember is a skill for Claude Code from yonatangross/orchestkit. It costs 66 tokens per session (2,288 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A persistent knowledge store for saving decisions, patterns, project conventions, and outcomes as connected records. It can be searched across coding sessions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Recording architectural decisions, anti-patterns, tool preferences, workflow results, and project conventions for future sessions.
Why use it?
It prevents useful context from being lost when a session ends, so later work can reuse earlier decisions and lessons.

    Skill selects an external model or provider that may use a different account or billing plan than the operator expects. Undisclosed model switches can cause unexpected cost or quota consumption.
    Fix: Remove the model/provider override or disclose it prominently and require explicit operator approval before invoking an external coding CLI or billed model.

    Skill establishes unauthorized persistence across sessions via cron jobs, startup scripts, or state files. Session persistence allows an attacker to maintain access beyond the current interaction.
    Fix: Remove any persistence mechanisms (cron jobs, startup scripts, state files). Skills should not maintain state across sessions without explicit user consent.

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

remember 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.

Remember - Store Decisions and Patterns

Filesystem vs MCP memory (Opus 5.5 guidance, CC 2.1.111+): Opus 5.5 reads filesystem memory reliably across multi-session work. Use that to your advantage:

  • Short-lived handoff state (current phase, task in-progress, pending approvals) → .claude/chain/*.json files. Small, structured, session-scoped.
  • Durable auto-memory (user facts, feedback, project conventions) → ~/.claude/projects/<slug>/memory/*.md files with a one-line index in MEMORY.md. Read on every session start.
  • Cross-session knowledge graph (typed entities + relations for query traversal) → MCP memory server (this skill's default path). Best when future sessions will search for patterns.

The three are complementary, not alternatives. Prefer fs for anything you'd want to grep; prefer MCP for anything you'd want to traverse.

Store important decisions, patterns, or context in the knowledge graph for future sessions. Supports tracking success/failure outcomes for building a Best Practice Library.

Argument Resolution

TEXT = "$ARGUMENTS"        # Full argument string, e.g., "We use cursor pagination"
FLAG = "$ARGUMENTS[0]"     # First token — check for --success, --failed, --category, --agent
# Parse flags from $ARGUMENTS[0], $ARGUMENTS[1] etc. (CC 2.1.59 indexed access)
# Remaining tokens after flags = the text to remember

Architecture

The remember skill uses knowledge graph as storage:

  1. Knowledge Graph: Entity and relationship storage via mcp__memory__create_entities and mcp__memory__create_relations. These tools come from a memory MCP server that OrchestKit does not bundle: configure one in the user or project scope first (for example @modelcontextprotocol/server-memory) and confirm it with claude mcp list. Without it, every graph step here does nothing.

Benefits:

  • Free and local once the memory server is configured
  • Explicit relationship queries (e.g., "what does X use?")
  • Cross-referencing between entities
  • No cloud dependency

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.

remember is a skill published in the GitHub repository yonatangross/orchestkit (298 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 66 tokens to every session and 2,288 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-09-05.
