Memory-File Maintenance

A personal AI memory file (MEMORY.md, CLAUDE.md, custom instructions) is only as good as it is current — over time it bloats with stale rules, contradicts itself, and drifts from who you actually are now. This tends it: reviews what's there, prunes the dead weight, sharpens the vague, adds the new patterns worth keeping, and sets a light maintenance habit — so your AI keeps understanding the real you. It also re-checks the privacy line on what should never be in there.

What This Skill Produces

  • A health review — what in the current file is stale, contradictory, bloated, redundant, or vague — and what important context is missing
  • Prune & sharpen edits — removing dead rules and tightening vague ones into clear, actionable statements
  • Additions — new patterns, preferences, and lessons worth adding from how you've actually been working/deciding lately
  • A conflict check — surfacing and resolving instructions that contradict each other (which confuse the AI)
  • A privacy re-check — confirming no credentials, financial, health, or others' personal data has crept in
  • A maintenance habit — a light cadence (a quick review every so often, add-a-line-as-you-go) so it stays current
