Frequently Asked Questions about Memory Status

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I check the status of my Claude memory system?▼

To check your Claude memory system status, you can run a diagnostic command that scans the directory structure and counts stored session summaries, decision records, and knowledge files to verify memory integrity.

What is the best way to review stored context before starting a new session?▼

Reviewing stored context before a new session involves generating an overview of the memory system, which displays recent activity logs, active plan progress, and the total file counts across your knowledge base.

How does the memory system track active plans and recent activity?▼

The memory system tracks active plans and recent activity by extracting the current plan name and progress, while simultaneously aggregating the most recently modified files from sessions, decisions, and knowledge directories.

Can I verify the integrity of my knowledge base files without manually inspecting the directories?▼

You can verify knowledge base integrity by running an automated status check that confirms the presence of essential memory directories and tallies the file counts without requiring manual directory inspection.

What information do I need to monitor my AI session summaries and project decisions?▼

Monitoring AI session summaries and project decisions requires a summary view of the memory system, which provides statistics on the number of saved session files, decision records, and recent knowledge base additions.

Why are my memory system directories not showing the expected file counts?▼

If memory system directories show unexpected file counts, running a status check helps diagnose the issue by verifying the presence of essential directories and listing recent activity logs to identify missing content.
