What it does
Memory is an agent skill from PhyAgentOS/PhyAgentOS-core. Two-layer memory system with grep-based recall.
Its SKILL.md is about 370 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: PhyAgentOS is a Recursive Self-Improving (RSI) physical agent operating system that enables agents to recursively self-improve through agentic workflows. The licence is MIT.
Example prompts
- “/memory”
Requirements
- Python 3
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 466e38b. 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:
python
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 loads about 365 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 14 tokens; SKILL.md has 160 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.
SKILL.md
The full file from PhyAgentOS/PhyAgentOS-core at commit 466e38b, republished under its MIT licence (© PhyAgentOS). 160 words, ~365 tokens.

Memory
Structure
memory/MEMORY.md— Long-term facts (preferences, project context, relationships). Always loaded into your context.memory/HISTORY.md— Append-only event log. NOT loaded into context. Search it with grep-style tools or in-memory filters. Each entry starts with [YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM].
Search Past Events
Choose the search method based on file size:
- Small
memory/HISTORY.md: useread_file, then search in-memory - Large or long-lived
memory/HISTORY.md: use theexectool for targeted search
Examples:
- Linux/macOS:
grep -i "keyword" memory/HISTORY.md - Windows:
findstr /i "keyword" memory\HISTORY.md - Cross-platform Python:
python -c "from pathlib import Path; text = Path('memory/HISTORY.md').read_text(encoding='utf-8'); print('\n'.join([l for l in text.splitlines() if 'keyword' in l.lower()][-20:]))"
Prefer targeted command-line search for large history files.
When to Update MEMORY.md
Write important facts immediately using edit_file or write_file:
- User preferences ("I prefer dark mode")
- Project context ("The API uses OAuth2")
- Relationships ("Alice is the project lead")
Auto-consolidation
Old conversations are automatically summarized and appended to HISTORY.md when the session grows large. Long-term facts are extracted to MEMORY.md. You don't need to manage this.

Questions about Memory
What does Memory do?
Two-layer memory system with grep-based recall. An agent skill from PhyAgentOS/PhyAgentOS-core. Memory is an agent skill from PhyAgentOS/PhyAgentOS-core. Two-layer memory system with grep-based recall.
How do I install Memory in Claude Code?
Run `npx skills add PhyAgentOS/PhyAgentOS-core --skill memory -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (PhyAgentOS/skills/memory in PhyAgentOS/PhyAgentOS-core) into .claude/skills/memory in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
How do I install Memory in Codex?
Run `npx skills add PhyAgentOS/PhyAgentOS-core --skill memory -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (PhyAgentOS/skills/memory in PhyAgentOS/PhyAgentOS-core) into .agents/skills/memory in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.
Can I use Memory in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add PhyAgentOS/PhyAgentOS-core --skill memory -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/memory, .gemini/skills/memory, .github/skills/memory and .opencode/skills/memory in your project.
What does Memory need to run?
Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Memory needs the command-line tools its instructions call (python). Our summary lists: Python 3.
Does Memory access the network?
SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Is Memory safe to install?
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.
What licence does Memory use?
Memory is published under the MIT licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.
How many tokens does Memory use?
About 365 tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 1.5k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.
What are the alternatives to Memory?
Skills that share tags, products or a category with Memory: Recall (cursor/plugins, 10k stars), ast-grep Structural Search (code-yeongyu/oh-my-openagent, 70k stars), Agentmemory Recall (rohitg00/agentmemory, 29k stars) and Ast Grep (ccusage/ccusage, 19k stars). The comparison table on this page puts their stars, adoption, token cost, safety result and licence side by side.
Who maintains Memory?
PhyAgentOS (a GitHub organization) maintains it in PhyAgentOS/PhyAgentOS-core, which has 2,758 GitHub stars. The repository holds 5 skills in this directory. The repository was last updated on October 8, 2026.
