To generate memory update proposals from Claude learning logs, you can run a cross-session retrospective that analyzes the metadata in your learning-log.jsonl and learning-log.md files. This process identifies patterns and suggests concrete memory additions without overwriting existing memory.

Reviewing cross-session memory retro safely requires a process that only proposes updates without modifying existing memory. You can analyze learning logs to generate a concise markdown retrospective with activity snapshots, gaps, proposed updates, and open questions.

You can apply proposed memory updates by using the explicit --apply flag. This creates an external retro memory file based on analyzed learning-log metadata, ensuring no existing memory is overwritten without explicit approval.

To limit retrospective analysis to a specific timeframe, run your memory retro tool with the --days N parameter. This restricts the pattern identification and memory-update proposal generation to only the learning log data from the last N days.

Claude memory management can support external retro files when you explicitly approve updates via the --apply flag. This creates a separate file for proposed memory additions, ensuring your original typed memory remains unmodified during standard analysis.
