/si:memory-status — Memory Health Dashboard

Quick overview of your project's memory state across all memory systems.

Usage

code
/si:memory-status                    # Full dashboard
/si:memory-status --brief            # One-line summary

What It Reports

Step 1: Locate all memory files

bash
# Auto-memory directory
MEMORY_DIR="$HOME/.claude/projects/$(pwd | sed 's|/|%2F|g; s|%2F|/|; s|^/||')/memory"

Count lines in MEMORY.md

wc -l "$MEMORY_DIR/MEMORY.md" 2>/dev/null || echo "0"

List topic files

ls "$MEMORY_DIR/"*.md 2>/dev/null | grep -v MEMORY.md

CLAUDE.md

wc -l ./CLAUDE.md 2>/dev/null || echo "0"
wc -l ~/.claude/CLAUDE.md 2>/dev/null || echo "0"

Rules directory

ls .claude/rules/*.md 2>/dev/null | wc -l

Step 2: Analyze capacity

| Metric | Healthy | Warning | Critical |
|--------|---------|---------|----------|
| MEMORY.md lines | < 120 | 120-180 | > 180 |
| CLAUDE.md lines | < 150 | 150-200 | > 200 |
| Topic files | 0-3 | 4-6 | > 6 |
| Stale entries | 0 | 1-3 | > 3 |

Step 3: Quick stale check

For each MEMORY.md entry that references a file path:

bash
# Verify referenced files still exist
grep -oE '[a-zA-Z0-9_/.-]+\.(ts|js|py|md|json|yaml|yml)' "$MEMORY_DIR/MEMORY.md" | while read f; do
  [ ! -f "$f" ] && echo "STALE: $f"
done

Step 4: Output

code
📊 Memory Status

Auto-Memory (MEMORY.md):
    Lines:        {{n}}/200 ({{bar}}) {{emoji}}
    Topic files:  {{count}} ({{names}})
    Last updated: {{date}}


Project Rules:
    CLAUDE.md:    {{n}} lines
    Rules:        {{count}} files in .claude/rules/
    User global:  {{n}} lines (~/.claude/CLAUDE.md)


Health:
    Capacity:     {{healthy/warning/critical}}
    Stale refs:   {{count}} (files no longer exist)
    Duplicates:   {{count}} (entries repeated across files)


{{if recommendations}}

Brief mode

code
/si:memory-status --brief

Output: 📊 Memory: {{n}}/200 lines | {{count}} rules | {{status_emoji}} {{status_word}}

Interpretation

  • Green (< 60%): Plenty of room. Auto-memory is working well.
  • Yellow (60-90%): Getting full. Consider running /si:memory-review to promote or clean up.
  • Red (> 90%): Near capacity. Auto-memory may start dropping older entries. Run /si:memory-review now.

Tips

  • Run /si:memory-status --brief as a quick check anytime
  • If capacity is yellow+, run /si:memory-review to identify promotion candidates
  • Stale entries waste space — delete references to files that no longer exist
  • Topic files are fine — Claude creates them to keep MEMORY.md under 200 lines
