What it does
Memory is an agent skill from boshu2/agentops. Write, find or curate lessons and agent rules with stated evidence and limits. Use when: asked to remember something or write a rule into agent instructions.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.6k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 10 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `references/curate.md`, `references/learn/okf-page-profile.md` and `references/mine-learn.md`).
It sits in Agent Workflows, covering Agent instruction files. The repository describes itself as: DevOps discipline for AI coding agents: shape the work, track it as a graph, and get each change judged by a context that didn't write it. The licence is Apache-2.0.
When your agent uses it
- : asked to remember something
- Write a rule into agent instructions
Example prompts
- “/memory”
Requirements
- A Bash shell

What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 8704853. 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
Ships 1 file in scripts/ (Shell), which the agent can run.
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 loads about 1.6k tokens when it runs, and up to ~6.3k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 41 tokens; SKILL.md has 726 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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

Memory
Use maintained experience only when it changes an action. Memory is optional: no mandatory recall at RPI entry, lesson at completion, worksheet, page quota or background mining. A trivial edit can proceed directly to implementation.
Rules for any saved lesson or rule
Apply these whenever a request would save or promote a lesson, including a request to turn an incident into a rule for an instruction file:
- Look for an existing entry first. Search the selected
.context/pages, external topic pages or the target instruction file (AGENTS.md,CLAUDE.md, a team rules file). Amend the entry that already covers the behavior; add a new one only when none fits. - Size the claim to its evidence. One incident supports a narrow observation scoped to the conditions it actually had. A universal rule needs repeated independent occurrences and later reapplication.
- State all five fields: applicability, action, support, limits and invalidation. Use the template below; an entry with no invalidation is incomplete.
- Review before admission. Draft outside Git. A fresh reviewer who is not
the author checks factual support and disclosure of the exact text, paths
and destination before it enters
.context/, an instruction file such asAGENTS.md, or any Git object. Promoting an entry into an instruction file is a separate policy change owned by that file. - Saving proves nothing. Only later work can show that reuse changed an action and helped. Until then a saved rule is an untested hypothesis.
### <one-line claim>
- Applies when: <the conditions the evidence covered>
- Action: <the check or step to take>
- Support: <cited sources; number of independent occurrences>
- Limits: <where it is untested or may not hold>
- Invalidate when: <the change or contrary evidence that retires it>Keep rare useful constraints; age or low frequency alone is no reason to delete them. Learning may also simplify or remove rules.
Choose one operation
| Need | Read on demand |
|---|---|
| An earlier constraint or source map may change the next action | Find / recall |
| Capture useful evidence from selected sources, episodes or corrections | Capture / mine / learn |
| Update, qualify, consolidate or retire a supported claim | Curate / qualify / retire |
| Rank repeated operational friction in supplied history | Toil evidence |
Memory owns these operations; other roles link here instead of keeping their own procedures. Capture includes bounded source maps, verdicts, corrections and failed or harmful reuse; it is never a required completion step. Load only the selected operation's reference. The optional OKF page profile checks structure only.

One authority per fact
BD or the caller's tracker owns work, status, dependencies and handoffs; Git
owns content and delivery history; native sessions and CASS own episode
evidence. Reviewed Markdown topic pages in a selected project .context/ or an
external bundle hold reusable claims as evidence, not another work account.
Existing docs, ADRs and code keep their declared authority; a page points to
those owners instead of copying their policy. Do not make one lesson file per
session, copy a transcript lake, or silently initialize a memory store.
For a selected project .context/, start at its small authored README.md map
when relevant, then read likely pages and their current source owners with
ordinary filesystem tools such as rg and cat; this needs neither BD nor AO.
Reads create no directory, index or private import. The optional
ao config context route supports external bundles and an explicitly bound
canonical direct <consumer>/.context; it requires native BD and preserves the
policy and identity bindings. Other consumer-overlapping roots remain refused.
Access, storage and honest limits
Use only sources already authorized for the task, owner, model/provider and
exact destination. Read permission does not imply publication or Git storage.
This lean path supports public or already-cleared trial inputs only. Neither
this skill nor a prompt, worktree or same-user shell enforces restricted-source
access, so do not retrieve restricted material through this path. The existing
ao session read-source supported profile grants no broader or automatic
transcript access. Unavailable and denied evidence remain explicit gaps; do not
fetch then redact.
Drafts and review proof stay in caller-selected protected external non-Git
storage. Missing routing does not authorize a workspace fallback. Preserve
requested legacy .agents/ proof and unique evidence under owner policy.
No blind TTL or delete operation is part of Memory. Labels and structural
parsers do not prove isolation. docs/adr/ADR-0016-state-tiers.md owns these
boundaries in a repository checkout; the operation references carry the
installed rules.
Saved pages, retrieval counts and structural checks prove no benefit. Only later work can demonstrate that reuse changed an action and helped its outcome; keep failed, harmful and no-change results. Mining is separately budgeted off-path and cannot delay finishing an already authorized change or alter its verdict.
