What it does

Ijfw Memory Audit is an agent skill from FerroxLabs/ijfw. Audit and clean project memory files. Trigger: 'memory audit', 'clean memory', 'memory health', /memory-audit

Its SKILL.md is about 380 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: 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.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Agent memory

Example prompts

  • “memory audit”
  • “clean memory”
  • “memory health”
  • “/ijfw-memory-audit”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Call ijfw_metrics to get counts and last-update timestamps for all tiers.
  2. Scan .ijfw/memory/ for all .md files. For each, note
  3. Categorize entries
  4. Report
  5. Pruning question: for each entry flagged STALE or ARCHIVE, ask "Would removing this rule cause the agent to make a mistake?" If no…
  6. Ask before acting
  7. On confirmation, move flagged files. Store audit result

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 Memory Audit loads about 382 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 32 tokens; SKILL.md has 119 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~32
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~382

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.

Execution

  1. Call ijfw_metrics to get counts and last-update timestamps for all tiers.

  2. Scan .ijfw/memory/ for all .md files. For each, note:

    • File name, size (lines), last modified date.
    • Days since last referenced (use file mtime as proxy).
  3. Categorize entries:

ACTIVE  -- referenced within 30 days
STALE   -- not referenced in 30-90 days
ARCHIVE -- not referenced in 90+ days, or flagged as superseded
  1. Report:
MEMORY HEALTH REPORT
  Total entries: <N>  |  Total size: ~<X> lines
  Active: <N>  |  Stale: <N>  |  Archive candidates: <N>

STALE ENTRIES (>30 days unreferenced)
  - <filename>: <one-line summary>  [last seen: <date>]

ARCHIVE CANDIDATES (>90 days or superseded)
  - <filename>: <one-line summary>  [last seen: <date>]

RECOMMENDATION
  Archive <N> entries to .ijfw/memory/archive/. No data is deleted.
  1. Pruning question: for each entry flagged STALE or ARCHIVE, ask "Would removing this rule cause the agent to make a mistake?" If no, archive. If yes, keep and tighten. Memory that doesn't change behavior is bloat that crowds out memory that does.

  2. Ask before acting:

    Archive <N> stale entries? (y/n -- files move to .ijfw/memory/archive/, not deleted)

  3. On confirmation, move flagged files. Store audit result:

    ijfw_memory_store: memory audit on <date> -- archived <N> entries
