Save session state for clean continuation next session. An agent skill from Digital-Process-Tools/claude-remember.

What it does

Remember is an agent skill from Digital-Process-Tools/claude-remember. Save session state for clean continuation next session.

Its SKILL.md is about 670 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 Session handoff and Agent memory. The repository describes itself as: Persistent memory for Claude Code — identity, context, and continuity across sessions.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Session handoff
  • Tasks that involve Agent memory

Example prompts

  • “/remember”

Requirements

  • A credential in PICK_A_RANDOM_TOKEN
  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Bash(${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/write-handoff.sh:*)

Workflow steps

2 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Pick a fresh word you have not used before this session (not "EOF", not "PICK_A_RANDOM_TOKEN", not anything reused from an earlier call)…
  2. Check the note itself for a line that equals your chosen word exactly. If one exists, pick a different word and check again.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit ee82161. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Bash(${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/write-handoff.sh:*)

    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 these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

    • PICK_A_RANDOM_TOKEN

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Remember loads about 666 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 16 tokens; SKILL.md has 343 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~16
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~666

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.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 343 words (~666 tokens).

“Write a handoff note so the next session can continue cleanly. Use your knowledge of the current session — you were here. Write in first person ("I").”
