What it does

Memex Sync is an agent skill from iamtouchskyer/memex. Sync Zettelkasten cards across devices via git.

Its SKILL.md is about 530 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 Knowledge Management, covering Note-taking and Git workflow. It works with Git. The repository describes itself as: Zettelkasten-based persistent memory for AI coding agents. Works with Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code Copilot, Codex, Windsurf & any MCP client. No vector DB — just markdown + git… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Note-taking
  • Tasks that involve Git workflow

Example prompts

  • “/memex-sync”

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Check status
  2. Initialize (if needed)
  3. Sync
  4. Report

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 453c0e3. 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:

    • git

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use git, 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

Memex Sync loads about 533 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 15 tokens; SKILL.md has 195 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~15
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~533

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
Sync Zettelkasten cards across devices via git.
whenToUse
When the user asks to sync, backup, or share their memory cards across devices. Handles git-based push/pull and initial setup of sync remotes.

Memory Sync

Sync your Zettelkasten cards across devices using git.

Tools Available

  • memex sync --init <url> — initialize sync with a git remote
  • memex sync --init — auto-create a private GitHub repo via gh CLI
  • memex sync — pull remote changes, commit local changes, push
  • memex sync --status — show sync configuration and last sync time
  • memex sync on|off — enable/disable auto-sync after every write/archive

Process

dot
digraph sync {
    "User invokes /memex-sync" -> "memex sync --status";
    "memex sync --status" -> "Configured?" [shape=diamond];
    "Configured?" -> "memex sync" [label="yes"];
    "Configured?" -> "Ask user for repo URL" [label="no"];
    "Ask user for repo URL" -> "User provides URL?" [shape=diamond];
    "User provides URL?" -> "memex sync --init <url>" [label="yes"];
    "User provides URL?" -> "memex sync --init (auto-create via gh)" [label="no, use gh"];
    "memex sync --init <url>" -> "Report success";
    "memex sync --init (auto-create via gh)" -> "Report success";
    "memex sync" -> "Report result";
}
Step 1: Check status

Run memex sync --status to see if sync is already configured.

Step 2: Initialize (if needed)

If sync is not configured:

  1. Ask the user if they have a git repo URL for their cards
  2. If yes: memex sync --init <url>
  3. If no: memex sync --init (auto-creates a private memex-cards repo on GitHub via gh CLI)
Step 3: Sync

If already configured, run memex sync to push and pull changes.

Step 4: Report

Tell the user the result. If sync failed, show the error message.

Rules

  • Never force-push — memex sync uses git fetch + git merge then git push
  • On conflict — report the error and tell the user to resolve manually in ~/.memex
  • Auto-sync — only suggest memex sync on if the user asks about it; don't enable by default
