What it does
Memory is an agent skill from scott-fryxell/brayness. Store and retrieve durable learnings about how brayness actually works - success patterns, failure modes, corrections, and next-time hints. Use before doing a task similar to a past one (check AGENTS.local.md Learnings first), and after a notable outcome or a user correction (append a dated learning to AGENTS.local.md, which is injected into every session). Also runs the critical refinement loop: on a correction or repeated failure, prove it with evidence, note the root cause, and propose a fix to the…
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: A harness for the anxious digital mind. A safe place for creatives to keep their creative soul while exploring digital skills. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Tasks that involve Root cause analysis
Example prompts
- “/memory”
Workflow steps
5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Name the exact correction/failure.
- Gather evidence: the user's words, the failing command/output, the file path.
- Decide whether the fault is in a skill/process or was a one-off mistake.
- If it points at a skill defect, propose the change as a diff to that skill's SKILL.md (in chat, or a file under plans/ for bigger…
- Append the learning to AGENTS.local.md Learnings regardless.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 71f10e2. 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 markdown).
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 668 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 143 tokens; SKILL.md has 309 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.

- Store and retrieve durable learnings about how brayness actually works - success patterns, failure modes, corrections, and next-time hints. Use before doing a task similar to a past one (check AGENTS.local.md Learnings first), and after a notable outcome or a user correction (append a dated learning to AGENTS.local.md, which is injected into every session). Also runs the critical refinement loop: on a correction or repeated failure, prove it with evidence, note the root cause, and propose a fix to the skill/process at fault rather than mutating it directly.
Memory
Learnings are written to AGENTS.local.md (or
AGENTS.md for rules everyone must see). AGENTS.local.md is loaded into the
system prompt every session by the agents-local extension, so a lesson
written there is guaranteed to be in context next session - no on-demand
recall needed. The same extension syncs the work/ project table in that
file from disk each session; edit descriptions there, not the row list. This separates it from the vault (your knowledge) and
from AGENTS.md (standing rules).
Only cross-cutting lessons learned from experience belong here. Standing
policies go in AGENTS.md; fix-specific trivia stays with the project. Keep AGENTS.local.md small - every line costs tokens
in every session.
Write after a correction or outcome
On a user correction, a repeated failure, or a notable outcome, append a dated
bullet under a ## Learnings section in AGENTS.local.md:
## Learnings
- YYYY-MM-DD: [the one reproducible lesson / hint]Keep every entry to 5-7 words - one hint, no reasoning. If the lesson should
guide every agent, put it in AGENTS.md instead - other harnesses read
that, not AGENTS.local.md.
Read before you act
AGENTS.local.md is already in your system prompt every session - check it
before acting. If a past entry says a given approach failed, say so and take
the other route.
Critical refinement loop
On a user correction or a repeated failure, work the loop:
- Name the exact correction/failure.
- Gather evidence: the user's words, the failing command/output, the file path.
- Decide whether the fault is in a skill/process or was a one-off mistake.
- If it points at a skill defect, propose the change as a diff to that skill's
SKILL.md(in chat, or a file underplans/for bigger rewrites) and wait for a human to approve before editing the production skill. - Append the learning to
AGENTS.local.mdLearnings regardless.
The producer never grades its own homework: when reviewing your own work, reason from evidence and state what is wrong plainly.

Questions about Memory
What does Memory do?
Store and retrieve durable learnings about how brayness actually works - success patterns, failure modes, corrections, and next-time hints. Memory is an agent skill from scott-fryxell/brayness. Store and retrieve durable learnings about how brayness actually works - success patterns, failure modes, corrections, and next-time hints.
When should I use Memory?
Memory fits situations like: tasks that involve Root cause analysis.
How do I install Memory in Claude Code?
Run `npx skills add scott-fryxell/brayness --skill memory -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/memory in scott-fryxell/brayness) 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 scott-fryxell/brayness --skill memory -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/memory in scott-fryxell/brayness) 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 scott-fryxell/brayness --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?
SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Memory is instructions for the agent only.
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 668 tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 2.7k 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?

The comparison table on this page puts their stars, adoption, token cost, safety result and licence side by side.
