Memory Review Skill for Claude

> the user and project CLAUDE.md plus per-project auto-memory files under ~/.claude/projects/<slug>/memory/*.md. Groups by project, shows the index (MEMORY.md) vs per-fact files, and flags stale or oversized facts. Reads /api/cc-config/memory and /api/cc-config/file?path=. Use when curating agent memory.

Memory Review

Curate the user's file-based agent memory: the long-form CLAUDE.md files plus

the per-project auto-memory store — read through the Agent Monitor dashboard at

http://localhost:4820.

Input

The user provides: $ARGUMENTS

This may be:

  • empty — review the whole memory store across every project (default).
  • a project slug (e.g. -Users-david-WebstormProjects-foo) — restrict the

review to that one project's auto-memory dir.

  • "claude-md" — review only the user/project CLAUDE.md files.

Data Sources

| Endpoint | Returns |

|----------|---------|

| GET /api/cc-config/memory | { items:[…] }. CLAUDE.md entries: { scope:"user"\|"project", file, size, mtime, preview }. Auto-memory entries: { scope:"auto-memory", project, name, isIndex, file, size, mtime, frontmatter, preview } |

| GET /api/cc-config/file?path=<abs> | full body of one file: { ok, file, size, mtime, truncated, text } — use to read a fact in full before recommending an edit |

Report Sections

1. CLAUDE.md overview

List the user and project CLAUDE.md entries with scope, size (KB), and

last-modified (mtime). Note any that are truncated (over 256 KB) — these

are oversized and worth splitting into auto-memory facts.

2. Per-project auto-memory, grouped

Group scope: "auto-memory" items by project. For each project show the

index (isIndex: true, typically MEMORY.md) first, then the per-fact

files. For each fact show name, frontmatter.description if present, size,

and mtime.

3. Index vs per-fact consistency

Within each project, compare the index (MEMORY.md) against the per-fact files

present. Flag facts that exist on disk but are not referenced by the index, and

index entries that point at files which no longer appear in /memory.

4. Stale & oversized facts

Flag facts whose mtime is old relative to the rest of the store (stale —

candidates to confirm or retire) and facts whose size is large (oversized —

candidates to split into smaller, single-fact files). When the user wants to

act on one, fetch its full body with GET /api/cc-config/file?path=<file>

before recommending changes.

Editing memory (mutations)

Auto-memory files are editable through the Config Explorer. To create/overwrite

a fact:

curl -s -X PUT http://localhost:4820/api/cc-config/file \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{"scope":"auto-memory","type":"auto-memory","project":"<slug>","name":"<fact>.md","content":"..."}'

To delete a fact:

curl -s -X DELETE http://localhost:4820/api/cc-config/file \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{"scope":"auto-memory","type":"auto-memory","project":"<slug>","name":"<fact>.md"}'

A timestamped backup is written automatically before any edit or delete.

The user/project CLAUDE.md uses type:"memory" with a scope and no name.

**Never edit or delete a memory file without explicit per-action confirmation

from the user** — default to read-only review.

Output

  • Section 1 as a short table (Scope | File | Size | Modified | Truncated).
  • Section 2 grouped by project, index first, then facts.
  • Sizes in KB; timestamps as relative age; use ▲ for oversized / stale flags.
  • Cite only fields the API returned — never invent facts, names, or sizes.
  • If the dashboard is unreachable at http://localhost:4820, say so and tell

the user to start it with npm start from the repo root.

How to use it

Copy the folder

Take hoangsonww/memory-review from the repository into ~/.claude/skills for personal use, or into .claude/skills inside a project.

Check the name does not clash

The agent identifies a skill by the name field in its header. Two skills with the same name cannot sit side by side — one of them will be ignored.
