What This Skill Does

This skill provides a memory health dashboard for a project, offering a quick overview of the memory state across different memory systems. It reports on the number of lines in memory files, topic files, and identifies stale entries. It's helpful for developers to monitor and maintain the health of their project's memory.

When to Use

• Check overall memory health.
• Identify stale file references.
• Monitor memory capacity.
• Detect duplicate entries.
• Get a brief memory summary.
• Troubleshoot memory issues.

Key Features

• Locates and analyzes memory files.
• Reports on memory capacity.
• Checks for stale file references.
• Provides a health assessment.
• Offers recommendations for improvement.
• Includes a brief mode for quick summaries.

Manual Installation

/si:status — Memory Health Dashboard

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

Usage

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

What It Reports

Step 1: Locate all memory files

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

Step 3: Quick stale check

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

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

📊 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}} 💡 Recommendations: - {{recommendation}} {{endif}}

Brief mode

/si: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:review to promote or clean up. Red (> 90%): Near capacity. Auto-memory may start dropping older entries. Run /si:review now.

Tips

Run /si:status --brief as a quick check anytime If capacity is yellow+, run /si: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/si:status — Memory Health Dashboard
