What it does

Slm Bot Memory is an agent skill from qualixar/superlocalmemory. Cross-bot memory on a shared computer (Grok Bot, Cursor plugin, any host where several agents share one machine). Explains agentid attribution vs. profile/scope access, how to namespace by agentid + profile + scope, and what must never be written to memory. Read this before the first remember/recall on a new Grok-Bot-style host.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.8k 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. The repository describes itself as: Open-source governed, local-first memory control plane for AI agents and teams. arXiv:2608.08253. The licence is AGPL-3.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Agent Workflows work in your project

Example prompts

  • “/slm-bot-memory”

Requirements

  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): remember, recall, search, session_init, switch_profile

Workflow steps

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

  1. agent_id (SLM_AGENT_ID env, or the agent_id parameter on
  2. SLM_DATA_DIR — the real isolation boundary. One store per bot that
  3. scope (see slm-scope) — inside a store two or more bots

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 26f8c68. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • remember
    • recall
    • search
    • session_init
    • switch_profile

    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

Slm Bot Memory loads about 1.8k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 87 tokens; SKILL.md has 921 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~87
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.8k

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.

slm-bot-memory — Cross-Bot Memory on a Shared Host

SuperLocalMemory ships as an MCP server. On a single-user laptop, one bot is the only thing talking to it. On a shared-bot host — Grok Bot's "one computer, shared by all your Bots" model, several Cursor windows, or any setup where more than one agent process points at the same install — several agents can reach the same memory store at once. This skill is about that case: what is actually isolated, what is not, and what must never be written regardless.


Three things that sound like isolation and are not the same

SettingWhat it controlsDoes it hide memories from another bot?
SLM_AGENT_IDAttribution — who gets credit for a memory in logs and summariesNo. It is metadata, never an authenticated principal (verified in mcp/agent_context.py's own docstring). Any bot that can query the same store can read a memory written under a different agent_id.
SLM_DATA_DIR (profile root)Which database file the daemon opensYes. Two bots pointed at different SLM_DATA_DIR values have fully separate, independent memory stores — nothing is shared unless you explicitly configure sharing.
scope (personal / shared / global, see slm-scope)Visibility inside one store, between profiles that share that storeOnly the way you set it. personal (the default) stays within the writing profile; shared/global are explicit, user-initiated opt-ins.

A memory profile (the namespace profile_id and switch_profile select) is not a fourth kind of isolation between bots. Any local caller that can name a profile can read it, and switch_profile moves the active profile for every bot on the computer. Treat profiles as organisation, not privacy.

The practical rule: SLM_AGENT_ID tells you who wrote something; SLM_DATA_DIR and scope decide who can read it. If two bots on the same Grok Bot computer use the same SLM_DATA_DIR (the common case — it is a shared filesystem, and nothing in Grok Bot's plugin model points different bots at different data directories by default), they see each other's personal-scope memories too, the same way two terminal sessions on one laptop would. Giving two bots different SLM_AGENT_ID values does not change that — it only changes whose name shows up on the memory.

If you need one bot's memories genuinely unreachable from another, that bot needs its own SLM_DATA_DIR (or a store where company mode with roles is configured — see slm-governance), not just its own SLM_AGENT_ID or its own profile.


Namespacing that actually works

Use all three dimensions together, each for what it is good at:

  1. agent_id (SLM_AGENT_ID env, or the agent_id parameter on remember/recall directly) — so a human or another agent reading get_memory_summary or the stored facts later can tell which bot said what. Set it to something stable and specific: grok_bot_support, grok_bot_release_notes, not a generic bot.
  2. SLM_DATA_DIR — the real isolation boundary. One store per bot that genuinely needs privacy from the others. A profile_id inside a shared store groups memories but does not hide them.
  3. scope (see slm-scope) — inside a store two or more bots legitimately share, keep writes personal by default and only promote to shared/global when a fact is meant for every bot on that store.
remember(
  content="Deploy window for the support bot is Tue/Thu 14:00-16:00 UTC",
  tags="ops,schedule",
  agent_id="grok_bot_support",
  session_id="<sid>",
)
recall(
  query="deploy window",
  agent_id="grok_bot_support",
  session_id="<sid>",
)

Recall is not filtered by agent_id automatically — it is attribution on the written record. If you need "only what this bot wrote", pass saved_by="grok_bot_support" to recall (or --saved-by on slm recall), which keeps only memories saved by that agent id. It filters; it does not protect, because another bot can leave it out.

What never goes into memory, on any host

This is not Grok-Bot-specific — it is the baseline for every SLM host — but it matters more here because a shared computer means a shared blast radius if it is violated:

  • Secrets, API keys, tokens, passwords, certificates. Never pass them to remember, even "just this once" or "temporarily." If a fact needs to reference that a credential exists, store the fact of its existence and where to rotate it, never the value.
  • Personal data about identifiable people that was not already something the user explicitly asked to be remembered about themselves (names, emails, addresses, health, financial details of third parties).
  • Anything from Grok Bot's shared filesystem you did not write yourself and were not asked to remember. "Files are visible to every Bot" on that computer (Grok Bot's own docs) — a file being readable is not the same as having permission to copy its contents into long-term memory that other bots and later sessions will see.
  • Command-line credentials. Grok Bot's own docs note these are shared across bots on the computer; SLM must not become a second, more durable copy of them.

If you are unsure whether something is a secret, treat it as one and ask the user before storing anything derived from it.


Checklist for a new bot on an existing shared host

  1. Confirm SLM_DATA_DIR — is this bot meant to share the existing store, or does it need its own? (slm status --json on the computer shows data.base_dir and data.db_path.)
  2. Set a specific SLM_AGENT_ID for this bot before the first remember.
  3. Read slm-scope before writing anything with scope="shared" or scope="global" — those are machine-wide, not just cross-bot.
  4. Read the "never goes into memory" list above once, out loud if you are unsure, before the first write on this host.

  • slm-getting-started-bot — first-session setup for a headless bot host
  • slm-scope — the personal/shared/global visibility model this skill namespaces on top of
  • slm-profile — memory profiles versus tool sets, and what switching does
  • slm-governance — role-based access when a store has multiple human/bot members and real access control, not just convention
