FAQPage Schema

How do I consolidate recent learnings into durable memories?▼

To consolidate recent learnings into durable memories, this skill processes session data through a phase-driven workflow to synthesize signals into organized topic-based memory files.

What is the best way to organize memory files by topic for future sessions?▼

Organizing memory files by topic is achieved by synthesizing session data into structured topic files under .claude/memory/ and maintaining a MEMORY.md index for fast retrieval.

When should I run a memory consolidation pass?▼

Run memory consolidation during nightly cron jobs, after rich sessions, or via on-demand prompts to synthesize recent learnings and prevent memory fragmentation.

How does the memory consolidation workflow orient existing memories?▼

The consolidation workflow orients existing memories through a phase-driven process that gathers signals, consolidates data into topic files, resolves yearnings, and prunes the memory index.

Can I automate memory consolidation with cron runs?▼

Yes, memory consolidation supports nightly cron runs to automatically process session data, update the MEMORY.md index, and maintain topic files without manual intervention.

What is a yearning lifecycle in memory management?▼

The yearning lifecycle in memory management tracks open questions, resolving them during the consolidation phase and updating the MEMORY index to reflect newly synthesized learnings.
