At a glance
Use paxm as Codex's active and passive memory layer. An agent skill from pax-beehive/paxm.

What it does
Paxm is an agent skill from pax-beehive/paxm. Use paxm as Codex's active and passive memory layer. Trigger for prior decisions, project context, user preferences, memory recall, memory writes, or paxm diagnostics.
Its SKILL.md is about 570 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, SQLite and Go. The repository describes itself as: Persistent, provider-neutral memory for Codex, Claude Code, OpenCode, Pi, and MCP coding agents. The licence is Apache-2.0.
When your agent uses it
- Prior decisions
- Project context
- User preferences
- Paxm diagnostics
Example prompts
- “/paxm”
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 0310c76. 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
Paxm loads about 574 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 43 tokens; SKILL.md has 263 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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.

- description
- Use paxm as Codex's active and passive memory layer. Trigger for prior decisions, project context, user preferences, memory recall, memory writes, or paxm diagnostics.
paxm memory
Use paxm as a supporting memory layer, not as a replacement for current source verification. Keep setup, credentials, provider selection, and passive hook policy under the user's control.
Before using memory
Check the local installation only when the task needs memory:
paxm version
paxm config doctorIf the binary is missing, ask the user before running the bundled installer. If the config is missing or invalid, ask whether to start the interactive setup flow. Do not edit paxm YAML by hand.
Active recall
Use a short, concrete query and a small result limit:
paxm recall --query "repo decision about hook ownership" --limit 3 --jsonFor a custom config, pass --config before the subcommand. Read scores and
provider metadata, then verify facts that may have changed in the current repo.
If a result exposes a precise lead, do at most two or three focused follow-up
queries rather than running an open-ended search loop.
When the host exposes paxm MCP tools, prefer paxm_recall, paxm_remember,
paxm_history, and paxm_config_doctor over shelling out.
Remember
Use STM for task-local working state:
paxm remember --profile stm --text "Working note: ..."Use LTM only for durable decisions, preferences, recurring fixes, or stable project conventions:
paxm remember --profile ltm --text "Decision: ..."Never store secrets, API keys, access tokens, raw private logs, or large pasted transcripts. Ask before storing sensitive personal or business information.
Passive recall and diagnostics
Passive Codex hooks are installed by this plugin only after the user completes
the plugin-aware setup flow. Do not run a second paxm setup without the
--integration codex-plugin mode, because that would change hook ownership.
When debugging, use bounded local history and logs:
paxm history --days 7 --json
paxm logs --tail 50Treat memory as supporting evidence. Current repository files, current tool output, and explicit user instructions take precedence over recalled content.
