What it does
Ownmem Init is an agent skill from grpcer/ownmem. Install or update OwnMem in the current repository. Use when the user asks to set up OwnMem, add local project memory for coding agents, or refresh an existing OwnMem installation after a version bump.
Its SKILL.md is about 410 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 Git. The repository describes itself as: Open-source, Git-native memory for AI coding agents — deterministic local recall for Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI, and compatible tools. The licence is Apache-2.0.
When your agent uses it
- The user asks to set up OwnMem
- Add local project memory for coding agents
- Refresh an existing OwnMem installation after a version bump
Example prompts
- “/ownmem-init”
Requirements
- Node.js
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 41bef7a. 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
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
npxnpm
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use npx and npm, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.
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
Ownmem Init loads about 405 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 53 tokens; SKILL.md has 172 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.

Set up OwnMem in this repository
OwnMem requires Node.js 20.6 or newer. Install the reviewed dependency, then generate the host adapters:
npm install --save-dev ownmem
npx ownmem init --hook --hosts claude,codexAdjust the flags before running:
--hosts: any comma-separated combination ofclaude,codex,cursor,gemini,grok, andgeneric— match the tools the team uses. The list is recorded, and running init again with a new list is how a host is added or removed. Grok CLI reads Claude Code's files, so name it alongsideclaudewhen both are used.--locale autowrites the generated instructions in the system language; the default is English.- Drop
--hookif the team does not want the recall hooks.--hookalso installs the layers those hooks need, up to the local Web console;--layers core,gates,compiler,dashboardinstalls a subset instead.
Initialization creates .ownmem/ plus bounded ownmem-generated blocks in the
host instructions, and preserves every line outside those boundaries. Verify:
npx ownmem init --check
npx ownmem auditThe npm package is the engine. This plugin is an optional shortcut and does not auto-update on every host. After a version bump (for example a Dependabot pull request):
npx ownmem init --update && npx ownmem init --check && npx ownmem audit© grpcer, Apache-2.0. Rendered from Markdown: HTML in the file is shown as text, images as links, and headings moved down two levels. Raw file
