What it does

Remnic Remember is an agent skill from joshuaswarren/remnic. Store a durable memory in Remnic so every connected agent can recall it. Trigger phrases include "remember this", "save this for later", "add a note that".

Its SKILL.md is about 650 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It works with Model Context Protocol. The repository describes itself as: Open-source memory and context for user-aware agents: scoped memory, provenance, retrieval quality, correction, boundaries, evals, and MCP/HTTP access. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Phrases include remember this
  • Save this for later
  • Add a note that

Example prompts

  • “remember this”
  • “save this for later”
  • “add a note that”
  • “/remnic-remember”

Requirements

  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): remnic_memory_store

Workflow steps

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

  1. Confirm the content is durable — it should still be useful days or weeks from now.
  2. Strip any secrets, credentials, or transient context (current PID, test run timestamps).
  3. Rephrase only if needed for clarity. Keep the user's voice.
  4. Call remnic_memory_store with the text as content. Include category/entity hints if the tool schema supports them.
  5. Confirm to the user what was stored, in one line.
  6. Mention that the memory is now available across connected agents (Claude Code, Codex, Hermes, OpenClaw).

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 002ea68. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • remnic_memory_store

    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

Remnic Remember loads about 651 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 43 tokens; SKILL.md has 326 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~43
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~651

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.

When to use

Use when the user explicitly asks the agent to remember something, or when a turn produces a durable decision, preference, or finding worth storing for later sessions.

Triggers:

  • "Remember that …"
  • "Save this for later."
  • "Add a note that …"
  • End-of-turn consolidation after a non-trivial conclusion.

Inputs

  • content (required) — the statement to store, in the user's own words where possible.
  • Optional: category hint (preference, decision, fact, procedure).
  • Optional: related entity or project name.

Procedure

  1. Confirm the content is durable — it should still be useful days or weeks from now.
  2. Strip any secrets, credentials, or transient context (current PID, test run timestamps).
  3. Rephrase only if needed for clarity. Keep the user's voice.
  4. Call remnic_memory_store with the text as content. Include category/entity hints if the tool schema supports them.
  5. Confirm to the user what was stored, in one line.
  6. Mention that the memory is now available across connected agents (Claude Code, Codex, Hermes, OpenClaw).

Efficiency plan

  • Batch closely related facts into a single memory rather than writing many tiny ones.
  • If a prior memory on the same topic already exists, prefer an update-in-place phrasing over a fresh write.
  • Do not store anything that can be re-derived trivially from source code or docs.

Pitfalls and fixes

  • Pitfall: Storing transient state like "user is running tests now". Fix: Only commit facts that will still matter tomorrow.
  • Pitfall: Accidentally including a secret or token. Fix: Redact before calling the tool; reject any content that matches known secret patterns.
  • Pitfall: Duplicate memories on the same topic. Fix: Recall first; prefer update over re-store.
  • Pitfall: Vague entries ("user likes clean code"). Fix: Be specific — who, what, when, why.

Verification checklist

  • Content is durable and specific.
  • No secrets, credentials, or PII were included.
  • remnic_memory_store was called with the final content.
  • User received a one-line confirmation.
  • Legacy engram_memory_store alias was not preferred over remnic_memory_store.

Tool names: canonical name is remnic_memory_store. The legacy engram_memory_store alias remains accepted during v1.x.
