SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This skill identifies objective, deterministically-verifiable defects within the memory ecosystem, such as dangling references, orphan files, and budget breaches, preventing memory rot without requiring manual oversight.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Automated Defect Detection: Scans auto-memory and the Odin brain for structural inconsistencies like circular superseded_by refs or orphan files.
  • Reporting: Generates a dated, actionable report detailing objective defects and advisory signals.
  • Use Case: Run this weekly to ensure your memory store remains healthy and organized, allowing you to hand off specific repair tasks to the dream skill.

Quick Start

Ask the system to scan your memory for defects or check the current memory health.

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I detect dangling references and orphan files in my auto-memory store?

To detect dangling references and orphan files in auto-memory, execute diagnostic scripts that perform deterministic analysis across the repository. This identifies structural inconsistencies and generates a dated status report detailing objective defects for subsequent resolution.

What are objective memory defects and how do they affect data integrity?

Objective memory defects are deterministically-verifiable structural inconsistencies like circular superseded_by references, orphan files, and budget breaches. They cause memory rot and degrade data integrity across the repository, requiring automated diagnostic scripts to identify and report them.

Do I need Python 3 to run automated memory maintenance and diagnostic scripts?

Yes, Python 3 is required to execute the diagnostic scripts for automated memory maintenance. The deterministic analysis and status report generation processes rely on Python 3 to identify structural defects within the auto-memory repository.

What's the best way to prevent memory rot and budget violations in my repository?

The best way to prevent memory rot and budget violations is to run weekly automated defect detection scans. Executing diagnostic scripts on a schedule identifies structural inconsistencies and budget breaches early, ensuring the memory ecosystem remains healthy without manual oversight.

How do I report memory health defects and hand off repair tasks to the dream skill?

To report memory health defects and hand off repairs, run the diagnostic scan to generate a dated, actionable report detailing objective defects and advisory signals. This report serves as the input to hand off specific repair tasks to the dream skill for resolution.
