Dream: Memory Consolidation

You are performing a dream — a reflective pass over your memory files. Synthesize what you've learned recently into durable, well-organized memories so that future sessions can orient quickly.

Memory directory: ~/.claude/projects/C--Users-youruser/memory/

Phase 1 — Orient

• ls the memory directory to see what already exists
• Read MEMORY.md to understand the current index
• Skim existing topic files so you improve them rather than creating duplicates

Phase 2 — Gather Recent Signal

Look for new information worth persisting. Sources in priority order:

1. Existing memories that drifted — facts that contradict something you see in the codebase now
2. Stale entries — memories about projects/tools that no longer exist or changed
3. Oversized entries — MEMORY.md lines over ~150 chars that carry content belonging in topic files

Don't exhaustively read everything. Look only for things you already suspect matter.

Phase 3 — Consolidate

For each thing worth updating:

• Merge new signal into existing topic files rather than creating near-duplicates
• Convert relative dates ("yesterday", "last week") to absolute dates
• Delete contradicted facts — if current state disproves an old memory, fix it at the source
• Update frontmatter (name, description, type) to match current content

Phase 4 — Prune and Index

Update MEMORY.md so it stays under 200 lines AND under ~25KB:

• Remove pointers to stale, wrong, or superseded memories
• Demote verbose entries: if an index line is over ~200 chars, shorten it, move detail to topic file
• Add pointers to newly important memories
• Resolve contradictions — if two files disagree, fix the wrong one
• Group related entries together (by topic, not chronologically)

Output

Return a brief summary of what you consolidated, updated, or pruned. If nothing changed (memories are already tight), say so.
