What problem does it solve? Persistent memory files (MEMORY.md and individual memory files) accumulate stale, duplicated, or already-applied knowledge over time, degrading response quality and bloating the index loaded into every session. This Skill inventories the memory directory, verifies each entry against current reality, and proposes deletions, merges, promotions, relocations, and rewrites with user approval. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Ledger-based triage: Reads every memory file, verifies referenced paths, commands, and facts against the repository, and classifies each entry as delete, merge, promote, rewrite, relocate, or keep. - Safe application workflow: Requires explicit user approval via grouped questions, creates a zip backup before any change, and regenerates the MEMORY.md index only after all changes are applied. - Subagent delegation: Offloads read-only verification and mechanical rewrites to parallel subagents when memory counts exceed 15 entries, while keeping all user confirmation in the main session. - Use Case: When MEMORY.md exceeds 5KB or individual memories exceed 20 entries, run the cleaner to remove outdated facts, consolidate overlapping notes, and shrink the index. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to run /memory-cleaner to audit and tidy up this project's persistent memory files.
