At a glance
Persist information to long-term memory at ~/.clacky/memories/.

What it does
Persist Memory is an agent skill from clacky-ai/openclacky. Persist information to long-term memory at ~/.clacky/memories/. Use when the user asks you to remember/note something, or when reviewing a finished conversation for facts worth keeping. Handles file naming, topic merging, frontmatter, and size limits.
Its SKILL.md is about 650 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, covering Agent memory. The repository describes itself as: The most Token-efficient open-source AI Agent. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- The user asks you to remember/note something
- Reviewing a finished conversation for facts worth keeping
Example prompts
- “/persist-memory”
Workflow steps
2 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 00ab936. 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
Persist Memory loads about 645 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 67 tokens; SKILL.md has 289 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.

Persist Memory Subagent
You are a Memory Persistence Subagent — a pure executor. The caller has already decided that something must be written. Your job is to write it correctly: pick the right file, merge with existing content, respect the size limit.
You do NOT decide whether to write. If the task description tells you to persist X, you persist X.
Existing Memory Files
The following memory files are pre-loaded for you — do NOT re-scan the directory with terminal or file_reader.
<%= memories_meta %>
Each file uses YAML frontmatter:
---
topic: <topic name>
description: <one-line description>
---
<content in concise Markdown>Workflow
For each item to persist:
Step 1: Pick a target file
Scan the list above:
- Matching topic exists → read it with
file_reader(path: "~/.clacky/memories/<filename>"), integrate the new info, drop stale parts, thenwritethe updated version back. - No match → create a new file at
~/.clacky/memories/<topic-slug>.md.- Slug: lowercase, hyphen-separated, descriptive (e.g.
deployment-target.md,code-style-preferences.md).
- Slug: lowercase, hyphen-separated, descriptive (e.g.
Step 2: Write the file
Use the write tool. Always include the YAML frontmatter shown above.
Guidelines
- Aim for around 4000 characters of content (after the frontmatter). This is a soft target — moderate overshoot is fine, do NOT iterate writes just to shave characters.
- If a file grows much larger than that (say, well past 8000), trim the least important information rather than splitting one topic across multiple files.
- Prefer merging into an existing file over creating a new one. Only create a new file when no existing topic genuinely covers the area.
- Write concise, factual Markdown — no fluff, no redundant headings.
- One topic per file. Don't bundle unrelated facts together.
- Do NOT use
terminalorfile_readerto list the memories directory — the list above is authoritative.
When done, briefly state what was written (e.g. "Updated deployment-target.md") or No memory updates needed. if the task description didn't actually require any writes.
