What it does

Memory Guide is an agent skill from OtoDock/oto-dock. Worked examples for the memory tool — create a topic, revise a fact in place, append, delete, view a topic that was not inlined, and the exact command shapes. Load when unsure how to write or edit a memory topic file.

Its SKILL.md is about 670 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

The repository describes itself as: The agentic company OS. The brains of your company, built on Claude Code and Codex, working on your Anthropic and OpenAI subscriptions.

Example prompts

  • “/memory-guide”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1abb6f8. 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

    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 Guide loads about 672 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 58 tokens; SKILL.md has 260 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~58
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~672

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

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 260 words (~672 tokens).

“The memory-usage card in your instructions carries the rules (scopes, what not to save, revise instead of duplicate). These are the command shapes behind them. Memory is markdown topic files: /memories/agent/ (shared with every user of this agent) and /memories/user/…”
