What it does

Ijfw Auto Memorize is an agent skill from FerroxLabs/ijfw. Session-end auto-extraction of lessons, errors, fixes, and user feedback into structured memory. Fires at session end. Requires consent on first run.

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 works with Model Context Protocol. The repository describes itself as: IJFW — It Just Fcking Works. Ferrox Labs' local-first infrastructure for AI coding agents: shared memory, smart routing, multi-AI cross-audits, disciplined workflow. The licence is MIT.

Example prompts

  • “/ijfw-auto-memorize”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Redact secrets first. Call redactSecrets() from mcp-server/src/redactor.js on every field that came from transcript or tool output.
  2. Cap sizes. Run applyCaps from mcp-server/src/caps.js. content ≤4KB, why/how ≤1KB, summary ≤120.
  3. Dedupe. Use BM25 search (mcp-server/src/search-bm25.js) against project-journal.md. If score > 6 against an existing entry, skip…
  4. Classify into one of
  5. Emit via ijfw_memory_store MCP tool with fields

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit eda62f3. 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

Ijfw Auto Memorize loads about 932 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 42 tokens; SKILL.md has 429 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~42
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~932

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.

description
Session-end auto-extraction of lessons, errors, fixes, and user feedback into structured memory. Fires at session end. Requires consent on first run.

Fires at session end. Reads deterministic signals captured during the session and synthesizes structured memories. Nothing leaves the machine unless the user explicitly configured an API model via IJFW_AUTOMEM_MODEL.

Before any synthesis, check .ijfw/.automem-consent:

  • If missing: ask the user once: "IJFW can automatically extract lessons (errors hit, fixes applied, preferences you stated) at session end into local memory. OK? (y/n). Reply y, n, or ask (ask again next time)." Write answer as {"consented": true|false, "at": "<iso>"} to .ijfw/.automem-consent.
  • If "consented": false: do nothing this session.
  • If "consented": true: proceed.

Inputs (all local files)

  • .ijfw/.session-signals.jsonl -- ERROR/FAIL/Traceback lines captured by the PreToolUse hook (W3.6).
  • .ijfw/.session-feedback.jsonl -- corrections/confirmations/preferences detected by the UserPromptSubmit hook (W3.7).
  • .ijfw/.prompt-check-state -- last turn's intent + vague signals.
  • .ijfw/memory/project-journal.md -- existing entries (dedupe against these).
  • Transcript read via Claude Code's Stop-hook payload (transcript_path).

Synthesis

For each signal cluster:

  1. Redact secrets first. Call redactSecrets() from mcp-server/src/redactor.js on every field that came from transcript or tool output.
  2. Cap sizes. Run applyCaps from mcp-server/src/caps.js. content ≤4KB, why/how ≤1KB, summary ≤120.
  3. Dedupe. Use BM25 search (mcp-server/src/search-bm25.js) against project-journal.md. If score > 6 against an existing entry, skip (duplicate).
  4. Classify into one of:
    • pattern -- error→fix recurrence (same error type seen >=2x).
    • decision -- an explicit user choice ("from now on X").
    • preference -- a style/workflow preference ("I prefer Y").
    • observation -- something worth noting, single instance.
  5. Emit via ijfw_memory_store MCP tool with fields:
    • type: one of the above
    • summary: single sentence, ≤120 chars
    • content: the fact + minimal context
    • why: where this came from (e.g., "user said 'don't use X'", or "hit error Y at step Z")
    • how_to_apply: when this should surface in future sessions
    • tags: include auto-memorize and the classifier kind (correction, confirmation, preference, rule, error)

Model routing

IJFW_AUTOMEM_MODEL env var controls synthesis:

  • unset or off -- skip LLM synthesis; only deterministic signals promoted 1:1.
  • claude-haiku-4-5-* -- Anthropic Haiku (~$0.001/session).
  • ollama:<model> -- local Ollama, fully offline.

Default ship: unset. Deterministic signals still become memories; only the richer "what did I learn" synthesis is gated on an LLM budget.

Output to user

One-line summary in the terminal:

Stored 3 new memories: pagination-off-by-one fix, user prefers esbuild, stopped repeating rm -rf warnings.

No summary on zero-emit sessions.

Audit trail

Every auto-stored entry carries tags: [..., "auto-memorize"]. The /ijfw memory audit command lists recent auto-entries for review/removal.

Safety

  • Never store raw transcript content -- only redacted + capped extracts.
  • Never call out to an LLM unless IJFW_AUTOMEM_MODEL is set AND consent is true.
  • Never store secrets -- the redactor runs first, always.
  • Never silently overwrite user-authored memories -- auto-entries go into the knowledge file with their distinguishing tag.

Resume normal mode after.
