What it does

Remember is an agent skill from alirezarezvani/claude-skills. Explicitly save important knowledge to auto-memory with timestamp and context. Use when a discovery is too important to rely on auto-capture.

Its SKILL.md is about 780 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Agent Workflows. It works with pnpm. The repository describes itself as: 380 Claude Code skills & agent skills & plugins (30+ Agents, 70+ custom commands, 380+ skills, customizable references, scripts)for Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, Cursor, and 8… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • A discovery is too important to rely on auto-capture

Example prompts

  • “/remember”

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Parse the knowledge
  2. Check for duplicates
  3. Write to MEMORY.md
  4. Suggest promotion
  5. Confirm

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 19392f7. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • pnpm
    • claude

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use pnpm, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Remember loads about 784 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 38 tokens; SKILL.md has 290 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~38
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~784

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

/si:remember — Save Knowledge Explicitly

Writes an explicit entry to auto-memory when something is important enough that you don't want to rely on Claude noticing it automatically.

Usage

/si:remember <what to remember>
/si:remember "This project's CI requires Node 20 LTS — v22 breaks the build"
/si:remember "The /api/auth endpoint uses a custom JWT library, not passport"
/si:remember "Reza prefers explicit error handling over try-catch-all patterns"

When to Use

SituationExample
Hard-won debugging insight"CORS errors on /api/upload are caused by the CDN, not the backend"
Project convention not in CLAUDE.md"We use barrel exports in src/components/"
Tool-specific gotcha"Jest needs --forceExit flag or it hangs on DB tests"
Architecture decision"We chose Drizzle over Prisma for type-safe SQL"
Preference you want Claude to learn"Don't add comments explaining obvious code"

Workflow

Step 1: Parse the knowledge

Extract from the user's input:

  • What: The concrete fact or pattern
  • Why it matters: Context (if provided)
  • Scope: Project-specific or global?
Step 2: Check for duplicates
bash
MEMORY_DIR="$HOME/.claude/projects/$(pwd | sed 's|/|%2F|g; s|%2F|/|; s|^/||')/memory"
grep -ni "<keywords>" "$MEMORY_DIR/MEMORY.md" 2>/dev/null

If a similar entry exists:

  • Show it to the user
  • Ask: "Update the existing entry or add a new one?"
Step 3: Write to MEMORY.md

Append to the end of MEMORY.md:

markdown
- {{concise fact or pattern}}

Keep entries concise — one line when possible. Auto-memory entries don't need timestamps, IDs, or metadata. They're notes, not database records.

If MEMORY.md is over 180 lines, warn the user:

⚠️ MEMORY.md is at {{n}}/200 lines. Consider running /si:memory-review to free space.
Step 4: Suggest promotion

If the knowledge sounds like a rule (imperative, always/never, convention):

💡 This sounds like it could be a CLAUDE.md rule rather than a memory entry.
   Rules are enforced with higher priority. Want to /si:promote it instead?
Step 5: Confirm
✅ Saved to auto-memory

  "{{entry}}"

  MEMORY.md: {{n}}/200 lines
  Claude will see this at the start of every session in this project.

What NOT to use /si:remember for

  • Temporary context: Use session memory or just tell Claude in conversation
  • Enforced rules: Use /si:promote to write directly to CLAUDE.md
  • Cross-project knowledge: Use ~/.claude/CLAUDE.md for global rules
  • Sensitive data: Never store credentials, tokens, or secrets in memory files

Tips

  • Be concise — one line beats a paragraph
  • Include the concrete command or value, not just the concept
    • ✅ "Build with pnpm build, tests with pnpm test:e2e"
    • ❌ "The project uses pnpm for building and testing"
  • If you're remembering the same thing twice, promote it to CLAUDE.md
