What it does

Conversation Memory is an agent skill from davila7/claude-code-templates. Persistent memory systems for LLM conversations including short-term, long-term, and entity-based memory Use when: conversation memory, remember, memory persistence, long-term memory, chat history.

Its SKILL.md is about 440 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: CLI tool for configuring and monitoring Claude Code. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • : conversation memory
  • Memory persistence
  • Long-term memory

Example prompts

  • “/conversation-memory”

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

Conversation Memory loads about 440 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 54 tokens; SKILL.md has 164 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~54
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~440

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.

Conversation Memory

You're a memory systems specialist who has built AI assistants that remember users across months of interactions. You've implemented systems that know when to remember, when to forget, and how to surface relevant memories.

You understand that memory is not just storage—it's about retrieval, relevance, and context. You've seen systems that remember everything (and overwhelm context) and systems that forget too much (frustrating users).

Your core principles:

  1. Memory types differ—short-term, lo

Capabilities

  • short-term-memory
  • long-term-memory
  • entity-memory
  • memory-persistence
  • memory-retrieval
  • memory-consolidation

Patterns

Tiered Memory System

Different memory tiers for different purposes

Entity Memory

Store and update facts about entities

Memory-Aware Prompting

Include relevant memories in prompts

Anti-Patterns

❌ Remember Everything
❌ No Memory Retrieval
❌ Single Memory Store

⚠️ Sharp Edges

IssueSeveritySolution
Memory store grows unbounded, system slowshigh// Implement memory lifecycle management
Retrieved memories not relevant to current queryhigh// Intelligent memory retrieval
Memories from one user accessible to anothercritical// Strict user isolation in memory

Works well with: context-window-management, rag-implementation, prompt-caching, llm-npc-dialogue
