What it does
C Memory is an agent skill from daxaur/openpaw. Persistent memory across Claude Code sessions — remember facts, preferences, and context
Its SKILL.md is about 930 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 Obsidian. The repository describes itself as: Personal Assistant Wizard for Claude Code — npx pawmode. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Tasks that involve Agent memory
Example prompts
- “/c-memory”
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit a2562d1. 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 (its code samples are bash and markdown).
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
C Memory loads about 934 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 24 tokens; SKILL.md has 279 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.

Memory — Persistent Context
Store and recall facts, preferences, and context across Claude Code sessions.
How It Works
Memory lives in ~/.claude/memory/ as plain markdown files. Read them at session start, write to them when you learn something important.
Directory Structure
~/.claude/memory/
├── MEMORY.md # Key facts — always read this first
├── people.md # People the user mentions (names, roles, preferences)
├── preferences.md # User preferences (tools, workflows, habits)
├── projects.md # Active projects and their context
└── journal.md # Session log — append-only, dated entriesSession Start
At the beginning of every session, read ~/.claude/memory/MEMORY.md to load context. This file should be concise — under 100 lines.
When to Save
Save to memory when the user:
- Shares their name, role, or preferences
- Mentions people they work with
- Describes a project or recurring task
- Says "remember this" or "don't forget"
- Corrects you about something
Writing Rules
- MEMORY.md: Key facts only. Keep under 100 lines. Update, don't append.
- people.md: Name, role, relationship, preferences. One section per person.
- preferences.md: Tools, workflows, communication preferences.
- projects.md: Project name, status, key files, context.
- journal.md: Append a dated entry at the end of each session summarizing what was done.
Commands
# Read memory
cat ~/.claude/memory/MEMORY.md
# List memory files
ls ~/.claude/memory/
# Append to journal
echo "## $(date +%Y-%m-%d)" >> ~/.claude/memory/journal.mdExample MEMORY.md

## User
- Name: Alex
- Role: Frontend developer
- Prefers TypeScript, uses Neovim
- Timezone: PST
## Active Projects
- ctrl.build — DeFi workflow automation (Next.js + Solidity)
- openpaw — CLI tool for Claude Code setup
## Preferences
- Concise responses, no emoji unless asked
- Always use bun instead of npm
- Dark mode everythingGuidelines
- Never store passwords, API keys, or secrets in memory files
- Always ask before overwriting existing memory entries
- If memory files don't exist, create them on first write
- Keep MEMORY.md focused — move details to topic-specific files
Obsidian Sync (Auto)
If c-obsidian is also installed (check ls ~/.claude/skills/c-obsidian/), automatically sync memory to Obsidian:
On Memory Write
When saving to any memory file, also mirror to Obsidian in an AI/ folder:
obsidian-cli create "AI/Memory" --content "$(cat ~/.claude/memory/MEMORY.md)"
obsidian-cli create "AI/People" --content "$(cat ~/.claude/memory/people.md)"
obsidian-cli create "AI/Preferences" --content "$(cat ~/.claude/memory/preferences.md)"
obsidian-cli create "AI/Projects" --content "$(cat ~/.claude/memory/projects.md)"Journal → Daily Note
Append session logs to both journal.md and Obsidian's daily note:
obsidian-cli append "$(date +%Y-%m-%d)" "### Claude Session $(date +%H:%M)\n- [summary]"
echo "## $(date +%Y-%m-%d %H:%M)\n- [summary]" >> ~/.claude/memory/journal.mdOn Session Start
After reading ~/.claude/memory/MEMORY.md, check Obsidian for newer content:
obsidian-cli search --folder "AI" "Memory"If the Obsidian version has additional facts, merge them into ~/.claude/memory/MEMORY.md.
Conflict Resolution
~/.claude/memory/is the authoritative quick-access cache- Obsidian is the long-term archive and rich knowledge base
- When in doubt, prefer the most recently modified version

Questions about C Memory
What does C Memory do?
Persistent memory across Claude Code sessions — remember facts, preferences, and context. C Memory is an agent skill from daxaur/openpaw.
When should I use C Memory?
C Memory fits situations like: tasks that involve Agent memory.
How do I install C Memory in Claude Code?
Run `npx skills add daxaur/openpaw --skill c-memory -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/c-memory in daxaur/openpaw) into .claude/skills/c-memory in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
How do I install C Memory in Codex?
Run `npx skills add daxaur/openpaw --skill c-memory -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/c-memory in daxaur/openpaw) into .agents/skills/c-memory in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.
Can I use C Memory in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add daxaur/openpaw --skill c-memory -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/c-memory, .gemini/skills/c-memory, .github/skills/c-memory and .opencode/skills/c-memory in your project.
What does C Memory need to run?
SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: C Memory is instructions for the agent only.
Does C Memory access the network?
SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Is C Memory safe to install?
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.
What licence does C Memory use?
C Memory is published under the MIT licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.
How many tokens does C Memory use?
About 934 tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 3.7k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.
