At a glance

A skill your agent uses when a technical decision, trade-off, rejected alternative, architecture rationale, or design risk should be recorded or recovered.

  • A technical decision
  • SKILL.md covers Tool Router, Use Reasoning When and Do Not Use Reasoning For
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md
  • Rejected alternative

What it does

Memorix Reasoning is an agent skill from AVIDS2/memorix. Use when a technical decision, trade-off, rejected alternative, architecture rationale, or design risk should be recorded or recovered.

Its SKILL.md is about 350 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 Model Context Protocol. The repository describes itself as: Open-source cross-agent memory layer for coding agents via MCP. Compatible with Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Windsurf, Gemini CLI, Antigravity, OpenClaw, Hermes Agent, Oh-my-Pi… The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • A technical decision
  • Rejected alternative
  • Architecture rationale
  • Design risk should be recorded

Example prompts

  • “/memorix-reasoning”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit af25502. 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

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    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

Memorix Reasoning loads about 353 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 38 tokens; SKILL.md has 149 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
~353

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.

Memorix Reasoning

Use reasoning memory for why a decision was made. Use ordinary memory for what happened.

Use Reasoning When

  • The answer depends on alternatives considered, constraints, expected outcomes, or accepted risks.
  • A future agent may otherwise reopen the same debate.
  • The user chose a direction and the reason matters more than the implementation details.
  • A Git Memory entry says what changed, but not why it changed.

Do Not Use Reasoning For

  • Simple progress notes.
  • Mechanical refactors with no decision.
  • Facts that belong in memorix_store as how-it-works, what-changed, or problem-solution.
