What it does

Nowledge Mem is an agent skill from nowledge-co/community. Use Nowledge Mem from WorkBuddy for current context, memory and thread search, durable saves, and WorkBuddy transcript import.

Its SKILL.md is about 760 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 Agent Workflows. It works with Model Context Protocol. The repository describes itself as: Community Repo for Nowledge Labs Products.

When your agent uses it

  • Agent Workflows work in your project

Example prompts

  • “/nowledge-mem”

Workflow steps

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

  1. memory_search for an existing memory.
  2. memory_update when the new information evolves it.
  3. memory_add for new durable knowledge.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1f4d7eb. 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

Nowledge Mem loads about 758 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 35 tokens; SKILL.md has 315 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~35
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~758

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 315 words (~758 tokens).

“Nowledge Mem is the user's current cross-tool memory. Use it to resume with relevant context, recall exact prior work, save durable knowledge, and make WorkBuddy sessions available in other connected AI tools.”
