What it does

Memory is an agent skill from kdlbs/kandev. Read, write, and summarize persistent Office memory when durable behavioral guidance or project knowledge should survive across agent sessions.

Its SKILL.md is about 350 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 Productivity & Automation. The repository describes itself as: AI Kanban & Development Environment. Orchestrate multiple agents, review changes, open PRs. Multi-provider, self-hostable, no telemetry. The licence is AGPL-3.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Productivity & Automation work in your project

Example prompts

  • “/memory”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit b734113. 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 347 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 38 tokens; SKILL.md has 78 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~38
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~347

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.

Memory

Read and write persistent memory entries via the CLI. Memory is organized by layer:

  • operating -- behavioral guidelines, preferences, communication style
  • knowledge -- facts about people, projects, systems, decisions

Write Memory

bash
$KANDEV_CLI kandev memory set --layer knowledge --key "people-alice" \
  --content "Alice is the frontend lead. Prefers TypeScript, reviews PRs quickly."

Read Memory

bash
# List all memory entries
$KANDEV_CLI kandev memory get

# List by layer
$KANDEV_CLI kandev memory get --layer knowledge

# Get specific entry
$KANDEV_CLI kandev memory get --layer knowledge --key "people-alice"

Memory Summary

bash
$KANDEV_CLI kandev memory summary

Guidelines

  • Use operating for persistent behavioral instructions (communication style, workflow preferences).
  • Use knowledge for learned facts that should persist across sessions.
  • Keep keys descriptive and hyphenated (e.g., people-alice, project-api-migration).
  • Memory entries are markdown files on disk and can be edited by the user directly.
