Persistent Memory
Your agent remembers every session, fully on your device, so you never re-explain context.
About this skill
Gives your agent a long-term memory that records and compresses each session into a private store on your own machine, then quietly brings the relevant bits back the next time you sit down. Everything lives in a local SQLite database and vector index under your home folder, so nothing is sent to AgentPod or any outside server by default. It does reuse your existing AI provider to compress memories, and because it saves raw session text you should avoid pasting secrets you would not want stored locally.
What it does
- Read and record everything your agent does in a session (prompts, tool calls, results) to build a local memory
- Store that memory on-device in a local SQLite database and vector index under ~/.claude-mem/
- Bring relevant past context back into new sessions automatically
- Install lifecycle hooks and run a local-only background worker (HTTP API and web UI on port 37777) on your machine
- Auto-install local runtimes it needs (Bun, uv/Python, ChromaDB)
- Use your existing AI provider credential (Claude Code auth, Gemini, or OpenRouter) to compress memories
- Send your memory, prompts, or session data to AgentPod or any third-party server by default
- Read your email, calendar, files outside its own data folder, or any connected app (it has no external connectors)
- Expose the local worker to the internet (it binds locally only)
- Stream observations to Telegram, Discord, or Slack unless you explicitly turn that feed on (shipped OFF in AgentPod's build)
- Access provider credentials beyond the compression call it already needs
Security report
- Hidden instructions that could trick your AI (prompt injection)
- Secretly collecting or sending your data (data exfiltration)
- Asking for more access than it needs
- Unsafe actions that could delete or send things without asking
- Where it comes from and whether its licence is clear
