What it does

Memory Management is an agent skill from ThinkInAIXYZ/deepchat. Guide the agent to recall, remember, and route durable learning into Memory, Skills, Scheduled Tasks, or Tape.

Its SKILL.md is about 850 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 Productivity & Automation, covering Scheduled and recurring tasks. It works with OpenAI. The repository describes itself as: 🐬DeepChat - A smart assistant that connects powerful AI to your personal world. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Scheduled and recurring tasks

Example prompts

  • “/memory-management”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Did the user reveal a stable preference or constraint?
  2. Did you learn a durable project fact?
  3. Is there a task outcome, blocker, or explicit deferral worth preserving?
  4. Did a reusable heuristic work?
  5. Did an anti-pattern or stale assumption become clear?
  6. Is this actually a reusable procedure for skill_manage or a recurring need for Scheduled Tasks rather than Memory?

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 4eb6062. 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.

    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 Management loads about 849 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 32 tokens; SKILL.md has 460 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~32
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~849

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.

Memory Management

Use this skill when a task may produce durable learning or when the user asks you to recall, remember, continue earlier work, preserve an exact statement, capture a reusable procedure, or handle a recurring need.

Recall

Rely on automatic memory injection for ordinary context. Use memory_recall when the user refers to previous work with cues such as again, last time, before, continue, same project, remember, or asks what you already know.

Use tape_search and then tape_context when the user needs source evidence, exact wording, logs, command output, file snippets, or why a prior decision was made. Memory is a durable conclusion layer, not the raw transcript.

Remember

Use memory_remember only for durable conclusions that should change future behavior. Choose the most specific category:

  • user_preference: stable user preferences, constraints, communication style, environment choices.
  • project_fact: durable project conventions, architecture entry points, commands, dependencies, paths, or operational constraints.
  • task_outcome: completed, blocked, or deliberately deferred task results. Include status, outcome, and blocker in prose when relevant.
  • heuristic: reusable troubleshooting strategy, workflow, decision rule, or engineering lesson.
  • anti_pattern: repeated mistake, unsafe approach, brittle pattern, stale assumption, or thing to avoid.

Do not remember raw tool results, bash output, grep output, file contents, transient mechanics, one-off failures, secrets, credentials, hidden reasoning, or anything only useful for the current turn.

Verbatim Scope

Store exact wording only when the user explicitly asks you to remember a sentence or phrase verbatim. In that case, keep the requested text intact and make the surrounding content minimal.

Automatic extraction is different: it should normalize durable facts into concise memory content, deduplicate related entries, and avoid preserving raw transcript text.

Procedures -> Skill

When the useful learning is a reusable multi-step procedure, prefer drafting a skill with skill_manage instead of stuffing the full procedure into Memory. Memory may keep a short pointer or heuristic, but the repeatable workflow belongs in a Skill.

Use skill_manage for draft skills only. Do not modify installed skills unless the user explicitly asks through the supported review flow.

Recurring -> Scheduled Task

When the user asks for a periodic, low-frequency, or future recurring action, suggest creating a Scheduled Task in settings. Memory does not wake the agent, schedule future work, or create automation side effects.

End-of-task Learning Check

Before finishing a non-trivial task, check whether there is one durable lesson to save:

  1. Did the user reveal a stable preference or constraint?
  2. Did you learn a durable project fact?
  3. Is there a task outcome, blocker, or explicit deferral worth preserving?
  4. Did a reusable heuristic work?
  5. Did an anti-pattern or stale assumption become clear?
  6. Is this actually a reusable procedure for skill_manage or a recurring need for Scheduled Tasks rather than Memory?

Remember only the smallest durable conclusion. Leave raw process in Tape.
