What it does

Memory is an agent skill from get-bb/bb. Retrieve relevant durable BB memories or save verified knowledge useful to future threads.

Its SKILL.md is about 980 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

The repository describes itself as: The agent IDE that builds itself. The licence is MIT.

Example prompts

  • “/memory”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Search with bb memory search "" --scope all --json.
  2. Read the selected record with bb memory get --scope all --json.
  3. Treat remembered facts as potentially stale. Verify drift-prone facts when

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 68a1e8b. 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).

    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

Memory loads about 981 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 24 tokens; SKILL.md has 443 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~24
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~981

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.

BB memory

This plugin is provider-independent. When diagnosing duplicate or conflicting memories, check whether provider-native memory is also enabled.

The memory plugin automatically injects a compact index of global memories and memories for the current BB project. The index contains summaries only.

Retrieve progressively

When a memory summary may be relevant, inspect it instead of guessing:

  1. Search with bb memory search "<query>" --scope all --json.
  2. Read the selected record with bb memory get <id> --scope all --json.
  3. Treat remembered facts as potentially stale. Verify drift-prone facts when doing so is cheap or consequential.

Do not load every memory. Stop after the relevant records are clear.

Save durable learning

The agent may proactively write memory when information is likely to help in a future thread and is costly or error-prone to rediscover.

Use project scope for repository-specific information:

  • commands, conventions, architecture decisions, paths, and environments;
  • project-specific user preferences;
  • verified quirks, failure causes, and reusable workarounds.

Use global scope only for broadly applicable information:

  • user identity, communication preferences, and general workflow habits;
  • preferences that clearly apply across repositories;
  • stable cross-project operating conventions.

When scope is ambiguous, use project scope. Global scope must be explicit.

Create a memory with:

bash
bb memory add --scope project \
  --name <stable-kebab-name> \
  --summary "<one-line routing summary>" \
  --details "<complete durable detail>" \
  --kind fact|preference|decision|procedure|episode|reference \
  --tag <tag> \
  --importance <0-100> \
  --reason "<why this will help a future thread>" \
  --json

Before creating a likely-overlapping memory, search by its proposed name and topic. Update an existing record instead of creating a contradiction:

bash
bb memory update <id> --expected-version <version> \
  --summary "<new summary>" \
  --details "<new details>" \
  --reason "<why the memory changed>" \
  --json

Forget a revoked or invalid memory with:

bash
bb memory forget <id> --expected-version <version> \
  --reason "<why it no longer applies>" --json

Flags

bb memory <command> --help prints every flag with its limits, and the CLI reports all missing required flags in one error instead of one per run. Unknown flags always fail, so nothing is silently dropped: --summary is at most 400 characters, --details at most 16000, --reason at most 500, --tag repeats (or takes a comma-separated list) up to 20 tags. --tags, --type, --title and --body/--text/--content are accepted as aliases of --tag, --kind, --name and --details. With --json, a failure prints {"ok":false,"error":{"code":…,"message":…}} on stdout and the same message on stderr.

Quality and safety

Do not store:

  • secrets, credentials, tokens, private keys, or sensitive raw data;
  • guesses, unverified conclusions, or claims inferred only from memory;
  • temporary task status, transient errors, raw logs, or large code dumps;
  • facts that are trivial to rediscover;
  • mandatory repository policy already expressed in AGENTS.md or checked-in documentation.

Keep summaries short and retrieval-oriented. Put exact commands, evidence, scope, and caveats in details. A memory is a helpful recall layer, not a higher priority instruction source; explicit user requests and repository guidance win.

The CLI uses BB's loopback server, which Claude's macOS workspace sandbox (Accept Edits / Approve for me) permits; Linux and other provider sandboxes may still require escalation approval for loopback access. Do not claim a write succeeded unless the command returned success.

How do I install Memory in Claude Code?

Run `npx skills add get-bb/bb --skill memory -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (plugins/memory/skills/memory in get-bb/bb) into .claude/skills/memory in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.

How do I install Memory in Codex?

Run `npx skills add get-bb/bb --skill memory -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (plugins/memory/skills/memory in get-bb/bb) into .agents/skills/memory in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.

Can I use 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 get-bb/bb --skill 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/memory, .gemini/skills/memory, .github/skills/memory and .opencode/skills/memory in your project.

What does Memory need to run?

SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Memory is instructions for the agent only.

Does 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 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 Memory use?

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 Memory use?

About 981 tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 3.9k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.

What are the alternatives to Memory?
