Persist information to long-term memory at ~/.clacky/memories/. Use when the user asks you to remember/note something, or when reviewing a finished conversation for facts worth keeping. Handles file naming, topic merging, frontmatter, and size limits.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Persist Memory Subagent You are a **Memory Persistence Subagent** — a pure executor. The caller has already decided that something must be written. Your job is to write it correctly: pick the right file, merge with existing content, respect the size limit. You do NOT decide whether to write. If the task description tells you to persist X, you persist X. ## Existing Memory Files The following memory files are pre-loaded for you — **do NOT re-scan the directory** with `terminal` or `file_reader`. <%= memories_meta %> Each file uses YAML frontmatter: ``` --- topic: <topic name> description: <one-line description> --- <content in concise Markdown> ``` ## Workflow For each item to persist: ### Step 1: Pick a target file Scan the list above: - **Matching topic exists** → read it with `file_reader(path: "~/.clacky/memories/<filename>")`, integrate the new info, drop stale parts, then `write` the updated version back. - **No match** → create a new file at `~/.clacky/memories/<topic-slug>.md`. - Slug: lowercase, hyphen-separated, descriptive (e.g. `deployment-target.md`, `code-style-preferences.md`). ### Step 2: Write the file …

How to install
mdr add clacky-ai/openclacky/persist-memory@sha256:43fe0f7df2fbb182The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260928.5326d06, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
