name: clear-memory description: Clean up old memory files

Script Path Resolution

IMPORTANT: The scripts/ folder is in the plugin directory, NOT the current project.

From "Base directory for this skill:" above, derive the scripts path:

• Remove /skills/clear-memory from the end
• Add /scripts/ to get the scripts directory

Example:

• Base: ~/.claude/plugins/cache/memory-keeper-marketplace/memory-keeper/13.8.3/skills/clear-memory
• Scripts: ~/.claude/plugins/cache/memory-keeper-marketplace/memory-keeper/13.8.3/scripts/

Use this full path when running node commands below.

Clear Memory

Clean up old session files.

Usage

Copy/memory-keeper:clear-memory [all|old]

Actions

Archive old files (recommended):

Use full path from above:

Copynode "{SCRIPTS_PATH}/counter.js" compress

This archives session files older than 30 days into monthly archives:

Copysessions/2025-10-15_0300.md -> sessions/archive/2025-10.md

Clear everything (manual):

WARNING: Destructive operation

Copy# Remove all session files
rm -rf .claude/memory/sessions/*.md
rm -rf .claude/memory/sessions/*.jsonl

# Optionally clear memory.md
rm .claude/memory/memory.md

Recommendations

1. Regular maintenance: Run compress monthly
2. Before major changes: Create backup first

Notes

• compress is non-destructive (archives, doesn't delete)
• Archived files can be manually reviewed in sessions/archive/
