claudemem — Persistent Agent Memory & Notes

ReviewAudited by ClawScan on May 10, 2026.

Overview

The memory features are mostly disclosed and purpose-aligned, but installation fetches unpinned external executable code and the skill automatically persists conversation details across sessions.

Install only if you are comfortable trusting the external GitHub release process for the claudemem CLI. After installation, review what it saves, avoid storing secrets or credentials, and delete or export memory data as needed.

Findings (2)

Artifact-based informational review of SKILL.md, metadata, install specs, static scan signals, and capability signals. ClawScan does not execute the skill or run runtime probes.

What this means

The installed program could change independently of the reviewed skill package, so users are trusting external release artifacts at install time.

Why it was flagged

The installer fetches an unpinned latest executable or builds the latest repo version, with no checksum or reviewed source bundled in the skill.

Skill content
GITHUB_RELEASES="https://github.com/${REPO}/releases/latest/download" ... curl -fsSL -o "${INSTALL_DIR}/claudemem" "${DOWNLOAD_URL}" ... go install "github.com/${REPO}@latest"
Recommendation

Prefer a pinned release with checksum/signature verification, or review the upstream source and exact release before installing.

What this means

Useful context, project details, preferences, or configuration information may be saved and later influence the agent's responses.

Why it was flagged

The skill intentionally persists conversation context and reuses it in later tasks, which is expected for a memory skill but sensitive.

Skill content
Automatically capture knowledge **without asking** during normal conversation ... Search memory at the start of tasks ... Search silently.
Recommendation

Avoid letting it save secrets or temporary sensitive data, periodically review/delete stored notes, and treat recalled memories as context rather than authoritative instructions.
