What it does
Memory Maintenance is an agent skill from ascorbic/macrodata. End of day memory maintenance. Runs distillation, updates state files, prunes stale info. Runs in background with no user interaction.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
The repository describes itself as: Give Claude Code and OpenCode persistent, self-refining memory and autonomous scheduling.
Example prompts
- “/memory-maintenance”
Workflow steps
7 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
- Run Distillation
- Review Distilled Content
- State File Updates
- Entity Updates
- Compact State to Budget
- Index Maintenance
- Journal Summary
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit f07def3. 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:
jq
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
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
Memory Maintenance loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 38 tokens; SKILL.md has 587 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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.
SKILL.md
Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 587 words (~1,153 tokens).
“FIRST, before distillation or any reads: if you have not already banked a heartbeat journal entry (topic memory-maintenance) claiming this run, do it NOW, then re-read recent memory-maintenance journal entries. If a sibling banked an earlier heartbeat for tonight, stand…”
