What it does

Yichen Agent Memory is an agent skill from mcncarl/yichen-skills. 安装、升级、检索或维护 Agent Memory Vault 共享记忆系统;用于明确的记忆系统任务。普通业务的历史回忆按 Vault 入口读取,不启动安装或维护流程。

Its SKILL.md is about 880 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 9 other files, including reference files (for example `agents/openai.yaml`, `references/daily-reads.md` and `references/install-upgrade.md`).

It sits in Agent Workflows, covering Agent memory.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Agent memory

Example prompts

  • “/yichen-agent-memory”

Requirements

  • Python 3

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9bd7898. 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.

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

  • Network

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • github.com

    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

Yichen Agent Memory loads about 884 tokens when it runs, and up to ~4.5k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 26 tokens; SKILL.md has 447 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~26
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~884
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~4.5k

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: notes

The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

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

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 447 words (~884 tokens).

“Use this skill to help a user install or operate the public Agent Memory Vault system. The vault can be shared by Claude Code and Codex: Markdown remains the single fact source, while each host keeps a thin rule and…”
