What it does

Codememory Summarization Skill is an agent skill from harrylettering/CodeMemory. This skill should be used when creating conversation summaries for CodeMemory, discussing summarization quality, optimizing DAG structure, or working with the compaction system. Provides guidelines for creating high-quality summaries that preserve all important information while fitting within token budgets.

Its SKILL.md is about 790 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 Writing & Content, covering Summarization and LLM cost and token optimization. The repository describes itself as: A memory layer for Claude Code.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Summarization
  • Tasks that involve LLM cost and token optimization

Example prompts

  • “/codememory-summarization-skill”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Key Decisions: Any decisions made, with rationale
  2. Action Items: Tasks assigned, with owners and deadlines
  3. Technical Details: Architecture choices, API designs, schema changes
  4. Problem Statements: What issues were being addressed
  5. Alternatives Considered: Options that were rejected and why
  6. Ambiguities Resolved: Questions that were clarified
  7. User Preferences: Stated preferences that affect future work

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit b7e96f7. 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 markdown).

    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

Codememory Summarization Skill loads about 788 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 85 tokens; SKILL.md has 251 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~85
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~788

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

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 251 words (~788 tokens).
