Store a memory in ourmem. An agent skill from ourmem/omem.

  • User says remember
  • SKILL.md covers How to store and Response Format
  • Calls curl; needs OMEM_API_KEY
  • Dont forget something

What it does

Memory Store is an agent skill from ourmem/omem. Store a memory in ourmem. Use when user says remember, save, store, or don't forget something.

Its SKILL.md is about 190 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, covering Agent memory. It works with Model Context Protocol and Rust. The repository describes itself as: Shared Memory That Never Forgets — persistent memory for AI agents with Space-based sharing across agents and teams. Plugins for OpenCode, Claude Code, OpenClaw, MCP Server.

When your agent uses it

  • User says remember
  • Dont forget something

Example prompts

  • “/memory-store”

Requirements

  • A credential in OMEM_API_KEY

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 40f65aa. 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:

    • curl

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use curl, 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 these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

    • OMEM_API_KEY

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Memory Store loads about 186 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 27 tokens; SKILL.md has 29 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~27
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~186

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 29 words (~186 tokens).

“Save information to ourmem for persistent memory across sessions.”
