Memory Audit

Structured diagnostic sensor for both memory systems. Returns a health report with scores, findings, and recommendations. The skill is read-only by default — it measures and reports but does not modify memory. Use --auto-fix for safe cleanup of orphans and stale files only.

When to Invoke

Skill({ skill: 'memory-audit' });

• After every 10 sessions (recommended)
• During proactive-audit pipeline
• When agents report memory-related failures
• Before session handoff (verify memory health)
• When router suspects memory bloat or staleness

Workflow

Step 1: CC Auto-Memory Health Check

Command:

MEMORY_DIR=$(find ~/.claude/projects/ -path "*/memory/MEMORY.md" -printf "%h\n" 2>/dev/null | head -1)
echo "=== CC Auto-Memory ==="
wc -l < "$MEMORY_DIR/MEMORY.md" 2>/dev/null
ls -1 "$MEMORY_DIR/" 2>/dev/null | wc -l
grep -c "^type:" "$MEMORY_DIR/"*.md 2>/dev/null | grep -v MEMORY

Thresholds:

Check: Flag files present in directory but not referenced in MEMORY.md (orphaned).

Step 2: Agent-Studio Memory Health Check

Command:

echo "=== Agent-Studio Memory ==="
du -sh .claude/context/memory/
find .claude/context/memory/ -type f | wc -l
wc -l .claude/context/memory/learnings.md .claude/context/memory/decisions.md .claude/context/memory/issues.md 2>/dev/null
find .claude/context/memory/ -name "delegations.pid-*.json" | wc -l
find .claude/context/memory/ -name "*.bak" | wc -l

Thresholds:

Verify: STM/MTM/LTM directories exist with content.

Step 3: JSON Data Store Health

Command:

for f in access-stats.json codebase_map.json gotchas.json patterns.json open-findings.json; do
  echo -n "$f: "
  wc -c < ".claude/context/memory/$f" 2>/dev/null || echo "MISSING"
done

Checks:

• access-stats.json: verify entries have distinct accessCount values (not all identical = bulk counter, useless)
• codebase_map.json: count entries vs 500-entry cap
• gotchas.json: count entries, check for hash-based duplicates
• patterns.json: count entries, check for hash-based duplicates
• open-findings.json: flag findings with status: "resolved" older than 30 days (stale)

Step 4: Cross-System Dedup Detection

Compare content between CC auto-memory reference files and agent-studio JSON stores:

1. Extract gotchas/patterns from CC reference_technical_fixes.md and reference_context_management.md
2. Compare against gotchas.json and patterns.json entries
3. Use simple substring matching (>50 char overlap = potential duplicate)
4. Report duplicates with source locations but do NOT auto-delete

Policy (Gemini consensus): CC auto-memory = thin index/pointers. Agent-studio = deep store. When duplicates found, recommend keeping detail in agent-studio, adding pointer in CC.

Step 5: Named Memory Assessment

Command:

find .claude/context/memory/named/ -type f ! -name ".gitkeep" | wc -l

• If 0: flag as "unused API — 70+ lib modules support it but nothing uses it"
• If >0: verify entries are loadable via node -e "require('.claude/lib/memory/memory-manager.cjs').listMemories()"

Step 6: Staleness Detection

Command:

find .claude/context/memory/ -name "*.json" -mtime +30 -not -path "*/archive/*" -not -path "*/ltm/*"
find .claude/context/memory/metrics/ -name "*.json" -mtime +30

Flag entries older than 30 days for review. Do NOT auto-delete — report only.

Step 7: Generate Report

Write structured report to .claude/context/reports/memory-audit-{YYYY-MM-DD}.md:

# Memory System Health Report — {date}

## Health Score: {0-100}/100

## Summary Table

| System | Metric | Current | Threshold | Status |
| ------ | ------ | ------- | --------- | ------ |

## Findings

### P0 (Critical)

### P1 (High)

### P2 (Low)

## Recommendations

1. ...

Health Score Calculation:

• Start at 100
• CRITICAL finding: -15 points each
• WARN finding: -5 points each
• Orphan detected: -3 points each
• Duplicate detected: -2 points each
• Score floor: 0

Auto-Fix Mode (--auto-fix)

When invoked with --auto-fix, the skill will safely clean:

• Delegation PID files older than 24 hours
• .bak rotation artifacts
• Metrics files older than 30 days
• Empty placeholder files (except .gitkeep)

Will NOT auto-fix:

• CC auto-memory files (requires user confirmation)
• learnings.md/decisions.md/issues.md pruning (requires semantic judgment)
• Cross-system dedup resolution (requires agent reasoning)
• Named memory API deprecation (architectural decision)

Memory Protocol

Before starting: Read .claude/context/memory/learnings.md for prior audit results. After completing: Write audit summary to learnings.md. Record any new gotchas to gotchas.json via MemoryRecord.

Anti-Patterns

• Never auto-delete CC auto-memory files without user confirmation
• Never modify agent-studio memory during audit (read-only by default)
• Never report raw file contents in summary (counts and sizes only)
• Never skip cross-system dedup check
• Never run auto-fix on CC auto-memory directory

Enforcement Hooks

Input validated against schemas/input.schema.json before execution. Output contract defined in schemas/output.schema.json.
