What it does
Agent Memory Discipline is an agent skill from davepoon/buildwithclaude. Teaches when to recall from long-term memory before acting and when to save durable decisions, corrections and failures afterwards. Use when a memory tool or MCP memory server is connected but the agent is not using it consistently, when the user complains that the assistant forgets preferences, conventions or past decisions between sessions, or when setting up persistent memory for a project. Works with any memory backend: a folder of Markdown files, a local MCP server, or a managed service.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.4k 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. It works with Model Context Protocol. The repository describes itself as: A single hub to find Claude Skills, Agents, Commands, Hooks, Plugins, and Marketplace collections to extend Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Agent SDK and OpenClaw. The licence is CC0-1.0.
When your agent uses it
- MCP memory server is connected but the agent is not using it consistently
- The user complains that the assistant forgets preferences
- Past decisions between sessions
- Setting up persistent memory for a project
Example prompts
- “Use the agent-memory-discipline skill to teach when to recall from long-term memory before acting and when to save durable decisions, corrections…”
- “/agent-memory-discipline”
Requirements
- Node.js
Workflow steps
4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- This is a correction, which is the strongest save signal. Save it.
- Write: Project uses pnpm, not npm. Stated by the user on 2026-08-11 after a lockfile conflict. Applies to all packages in this repo.
- Do not also save "the user was annoyed", "I ran npm install", or the lockfile contents.
- Next session, before running any package command in this repo, recall first and find it.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 616deb5. 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
Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):
mnemoverse.com
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
Agent Memory Discipline loads about 1.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 130 tokens; SKILL.md has 825 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.

Agent memory discipline
Connecting a memory tool does not make an agent use it. Tools register, the session runs, and nothing gets recalled or saved. This skill supplies the missing part: standing rules for when to read memory and when to write it.
It is backend-agnostic. Everything below works the same whether memory is a folder of Markdown files, a local MCP server, or a hosted service.
Recall before acting
Read memory before doing any of these, not after:
- starting work on a project you have touched before
- choosing a library, pattern, or tool
- writing tests, commits, or documentation, where conventions apply
- answering "how do we usually do X here"
- anything the user phrases as "again", "like last time", or "as we agreed"
Do not recall for one-off factual questions, arithmetic, or anything fully specified in the current message. Recall costs a tool call and context; spending it on a self-contained question is waste.
Search with the words the user actually used, plus the project or repository name. If the first search returns nothing useful, try one broader query, then stop and proceed without memory rather than looping.
Save after deciding
Write to memory when one of these has just happened:
- a decision was made and will still matter next week ("we use pnpm", "the billing module stays untouched")
- the user corrected you, which is the strongest signal there is
- an approach failed, and why it failed
- a preference was stated that applies beyond this task
- a fact about the environment was discovered the hard way (a port, a flag, a service that must be running)
Do not save: the contents of files you can read again, restatements of the current task, transient state, anything the user marked as temporary, and anything containing secrets, tokens, or personal data.
One memory, one fact. A paragraph containing four decisions cannot be superseded cleanly when one of them changes.
Write it so it survives
A memory that is useless in three weeks was written wrong. Each entry should carry, in the text if the backend has no fields for it:
- what was decided or observed, in one sentence
- why, briefly, because the reason outlives the decision
- when it became true, and when it stopped being true if it has
- where it came from: a file, a commit, a conversation, a test run
Prefer the user's own words over your paraphrase. Paraphrase drifts.
Do not overwrite the past, close it
When something changes, the old memory is not wrong. It is closed.
If the project moved from Redux to Zustand, "we use Redux" was true from January to June. Deleting it destroys the explanation for every component written in that window. Mark it superseded, keep its validity window, and write the new one alongside.
This is the single most destructive habit in agent memory, and it is invisible until someone asks a question about old code.
Show full SKILL.md (343 more words)Show less
Keep contradictions instead of resolving them silently
If recall returns two entries that disagree, do not pick the closer match and proceed. Surface both, with their dates, and ask or flag.
A convention that a recent failure contradicts is exactly the situation where the user needs to be told, not smoothed over.
Evidence and policy are different weights
- Evidence is what happened: one run, one failure, one observation. Cheap, plentiful, individually unreliable.
- Policy is what should happen: a convention, a decision, a rule. Expensive, and should be hard to change by accident.
An observation becomes policy when a human confirms it, when it lands in a merged decision record, or when it has worked repeatedly. Never promote a single observation to a rule on your own.
A worked example
The user says: "stop using npm here, we're on pnpm."
- This is a correction, which is the strongest save signal. Save it.
- Write:
Project uses pnpm, not npm. Stated by the user on 2026-08-11 after a lockfile conflict. Applies to all packages in this repo. - Do not also save "the user was annoyed", "I ran npm install", or the lockfile contents.
- Next session, before running any package command in this repo, recall first and find it.
Checklist to keep in the loop
Before acting on project-specific work: did I recall? After a decision, correction, or failure: did I save it, in one sentence, with its reason? When something changed: did I close the old entry instead of deleting it?
Backends
This skill assumes a memory tool exists. Any of these work:
- Files. A
memory/folder of Markdown notes, one fact per file. No dependencies, fully greppable, versionable in git. - A local MCP memory server. Keeps everything on your machine; several open-source options exist.
- A hosted memory service over MCP. Adds portability across tools and machines at the cost of your data living elsewhere.
Written and maintained by the team behind Mnemoverse, which is one hosted implementation. The rules above are deliberately backend-neutral and were written to be useful without it.
