What it does
Tanstack AI Memory Honcho is an agent skill from TanStack/ai. Use when wiring honcho() from @tanstack/ai-memory/honcho — a hosted memory adapter where recall is a dialectic answer over the user's representation (no discrete fragments). Requires the optional @honcho-ai/sdk peer.
Its SKILL.md is about 460 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 AI & LLM Engineering. It works with TanStack and Vercel AI SDK. The repository describes itself as: 🤖 Type-safe, provider-agnostic TypeScript AI SDK for streaming chat, tool calling, agents, and multimodal apps across OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, React, Vue, Svelte, and Solid. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- AI & LLM Engineering work in your project
Example prompts
- “/tanstack-ai-memory-honcho”
Requirements
- A credential in HONCHO_API_KEY
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 5a41239. 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 typescript).
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 these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:
HONCHO_API_KEY
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Tanstack AI Memory Honcho loads about 457 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 61 tokens; SKILL.md has 135 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 when wiring honcho() from @tanstack/ai-memory/honcho — a hosted memory adapter where recall is a dialectic answer over the user's representation (no discrete fragments). Requires the optional @honcho-ai/sdk peer.
Honcho Memory Adapter
Hosted recall/save adapter backed by Honcho. Honcho models memory as peers
exchanging messages in a session; recall returns a synthesized dialectic answer
over the user peer's representation (so there are no discrete fragments), and save
appends the turn's messages to the session.
Setup
import { memoryMiddleware } from '@tanstack/ai-memory'
import { honcho } from '@tanstack/ai-memory/honcho'
// Build per request from the server-validated session — never from req.body.
function memoryFor(session: { userId: string; threadId: string }) {
const memory = honcho({ user: session.userId }) // baseURL defaults to HONCHO_URL
return memoryMiddleware({
adapter: memory,
scope: { threadId: session.threadId, userId: session.userId },
})
}@honcho-ai/sdk is an optional peer dependency, loaded lazily on first use — install
it where you use honcho().
Options
user— user peer id (falls back toscope.userId, then'demo-user').baseURL— Honcho server URL (defaultHONCHO_URLorhttp://localhost:8001).workspaceId— defaultHONCHO_APP_NAMEor'ai-memory'.apiKey— defaultHONCHO_API_KEY.assistantId— assistant peer id (default'assistant').
Scope fields: session key = {tenantId|_}__{threadId}; peer id is
{tenantId}__{user} when tenantId is set, otherwise user / scope.userId.
namespace is ignored.
recall calls the user peer's dialectic chat() and injects the answer as the system
prompt; Honcho exposes no LLM tools.
