Agent Memgate — AI skill for Claude Code

AI community

One web page plants a standing instruction in an AI agent's memory; sessions later, a clean request leaks email.

How to install Agent Memgate

This entry records only its repository, not the path inside it, so there is no exact command to give. Open haqinam/agent-memgate and copy the folder into ~/.claude/skills/, or the file into ~/.claude/agents/.

What Agent Memgate does

One web page plants a standing instruction in an AI agent's memory; sessions later, a clean request leaks email. Reproducible demo across Claude/GPT/Gemini/open-weights, plus agent-memgate: provenance-labelled memory + flow policy at the tool boundary (LangGraph & MCP adapters).

README

agent-memgate

A reproducible demonstration that a single untrusted web page can plant a persistent instruction in an agent's memory that makes it leak email in a later, clean session, plus **agent-memgate** ("memgate"), a small library that stops it with provenance-labelled memory and flow policy at the tool boundary.

60-second demo

git clone https://github.com/haqinam/agent-memgate && cd agent-memgate
uv run python demo/run_demo.py --provider mock --defense off   # → RESULT: EXFILTRATED
uv run python demo/run_demo.py --provider mock --defense on    # → RESULT: BLOCKED

To render the screencast as an MP4 (macOS fonts): `uv run --with pillow --with imageio-ffmpeg --with numpy python scripts/make_video.py`.

No API key needed: `mock` is a scripted model that goes through the same agent loop and tool boundary as real models. It proves the plumbing. Real models are what prove the vulnerability (see Results).

Results

From `eval/run_eval.py` (copy of [`results/results.md`](results/results.md)).

Real models: **Claude Sonnet 5.5 and GPT-6.1 Sol, 5 trials per cell (40 runs each).** The harness also supports Gemini and open-weights models; those were not run.
