Memory Dream

Classify each target into one of these actions:

• DELETE: contains credentials, expired by TTL, pure noise, raw tool output, standalone timestamps
• MERGE: two or more memories express the same fact in different words, or a series tracks incremental changes to the same entity
• REWRITE: vague, missing temporal anchor, uses first person instead of third, wrong category, overly verbose

Phase 3: Consolidate

Execute the actions identified in Phase 2. Work in this priority order:

3a. Delete dangerous and expired entries

Delete immediately using memory_delete:

• Credentials, API keys, tokens, passwords, secrets (patterns: sk-, m0-, ghp_, AKIA, Bearer, password=, token=, secret=)
• Pure timestamps with no context
• Raw tool output stored as memory
• Heartbeat or cron execution records
• Generic acknowledgments stored as memory ("ok", "got it")
• Operational memories older than 7 days
• Project memories older than 90 days

3b. Merge duplicates

When two or more memories express the same fact:

1. Pick the most complete version as the base
2. Call memory_update on the best version to incorporate missing details from the others
3. Call memory_delete on the redundant entries

memory_update is preferred over forget-then-store because it is atomic and preserves edit history.

When merging, follow these rules:

• Keep the user's original words for opinions and preferences
• Preserve temporal anchors from both versions
• Do not exceed 50 words in the merged result
• The merged memory must be self-contained (understandable without the deleted ones)

3c. Rewrite unclear entries

When a memory needs improvement but is not a duplicate:

1. Call memory_update with the improved text

Rewrite when:

• Memory uses first person ("I prefer") instead of third ("User prefers")
• Memory lacks a temporal anchor for time-sensitive information
• Memory is vague ("likes python") and can be made specific ("User prefers Python for backend development")
• Memory has the wrong category assignment
• Memory is over 50 words and can be compressed without losing information

Phase 4: Report

After completing all operations, summarize what you did:

Consolidation complete.
- Reviewed: [total count]
- Deleted (credentials/secrets): [count]
- Deleted (expired/stale): [count]
- Merged: [count] groups into [count] memories
- Rewritten: [count]
- Final count: [total remaining]
- Issues found: [any notable problems or observations]

Quality Targets

After consolidation, the memory store should have:

• Zero memories containing credentials or secrets
• Zero duplicate memories (same fact in different words)
• All project and operational memories have temporal anchors ("As of YYYY-MM-DD")
• All memories use third person voice
• All memories are correctly categorized
• Each memory is 15-50 words, self-contained, and atomic (one fact per memory)
