What it does

Mindmemos CLI is an agent skill from mindscale-noah/MindMemOS. Give an AI agent persistent, cross-session long-term memory through MindMemOS. Covers installing and authenticating the mindmemos CLI, the full command interface (add / search / get / update / delete / feedback / dreaming) with parameters and examples, guidance on which capability to use when, plus a Python SDK example. To wire memory into a specific agent host (OpenClaw, DeepSeek Harness, Codex, Claude, etc.), see references/.

Its SKILL.md is about 3.4k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 4 other files, including reference files (for example `references/deepseek-harness-plugin.md`, `references/openclaw-plugin.md` and `references/python-sdk.md`).

It sits in Agent Workflows, covering Agent memory and Session handoff. It works with Python and DeepSeek.

Requirements

Workflow steps

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

  1. mindmemos auth once.
  2. During a session: memory search to recall, memory add to store turns.
  3. Maintenance / background: memory get to inspect, memory update / memory delete to correct, memory feedback and memory dreaming to let the…

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 186db4a. 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:

    • pip
    • pipx
    • uv

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use pip, pipx and uv, 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

Mindmemos CLI loads about 3.4k tokens when it runs, and up to ~8.3k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 111 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,342 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~111
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~3.4k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~8.3k

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 1,342 words (~3,377 tokens).

“MindMemOS is a long-term memory layer for AI agents. The mindmemos CLI is the integration surface: every memory operation is a subcommand that prints either a human-readable line or, with --json, stable machine-readable output. Any agent or script can drive…”
