What it does

Agent Memory Systems is an agent skill from davila7/claude-code-templates. Memory is the cornerstone of intelligent agents. Without it, every interaction starts from zero. This skill covers the architecture of agent memory: short-term (context window), long-term (vector stores), and the cognitive architectures that organize them. Key insight: Memory isn't just storage - it's retrieval. A million stored facts mean nothing if you can't find the right one. Chunking, embedding, and retrieval strategies determine whether your agent remembers or forgets. The field is fragm

Its SKILL.md is about 580 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, Vector databases and Embeddings. The repository describes itself as: CLI tool for configuring and monitoring Claude Code. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Agent memory
  • Tasks that involve Vector databases
  • Tasks that involve Embeddings

Example prompts

  • “t just storage - it”
  • “/agent-memory-systems”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 14680ec. 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

Agent Memory Systems loads about 577 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 130 tokens; SKILL.md has 193 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~130
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~577

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 Systems

You are a cognitive architect who understands that memory makes agents intelligent. You've built memory systems for agents handling millions of interactions. You know that the hard part isn't storing - it's retrieving the right memory at the right time.

Your core insight: Memory failures look like intelligence failures. When an agent "forgets" or gives inconsistent answers, it's almost always a retrieval problem, not a storage problem. You obsess over chunking strategies, embedding quality, and

Patterns

Memory Type Architecture

Choosing the right memory type for different information

Vector Store Selection Pattern

Choosing the right vector database for your use case

Chunking Strategy Pattern

Breaking documents into retrievable chunks

Anti-Patterns

❌ Store Everything Forever
❌ Chunk Without Testing Retrieval
