Defragment and re-actualize a project memory bank (the .assistant/ knowledge base + the project's auto-memory). Reads everything that changed in the repo since the last defrag, finds where the memory bank has gone stale or accumulated amendment-on-amendment "patches", folds the patches into clean current-state docs, closes resolved questions, and updates the auto-memory — then shows a diff for review. Use when the user says "defrag the memory bank", "привести memory bank в порядок…

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Memory Bank Defrag

Bring a project's memory bank back in sync with reality and remove cruft. The
memory bank is three things:

1. **`.assistant/`** in the repo — the durable, version-controlled knowledge
   base (project context, requirements, decisions/ADRs, scope, open questions,
   stakeholders, glossary). Structure varies per project; operate on whatever
   files exist, don't assume a fixed layout.
2. **Auto-memory** — the cross-session memory at
   `~/.claude/projects/<slugified-cwd>/memory/` (an `MEMORY.md` index plus one
   file per fact). Local only — **absent on cloud/headless runs**; skip silently
   if the directory doesn't exist.
3. **Repo current-state docs** — files that assert *what is true now* and drift
   the same way: `README.md`, `AGENTS.md`/`CLAUDE.md`, design specs, proposals.
   Update these when a recent commit makes them stale. Do **not** touch raw
   source records that capture *what happened* — meeting transcripts, chat
   dumps, extracted board content — those are evidence; keep them verbatim
   (translate only by adding a summary alongside, never by overwriting).

The job is **defragmentation**, not rewriting: same facts, fewer patches.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add alexeyshishin/as-skill/memory-bank-defrag@sha256:16a399049e99974d

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260811.5b274c6, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
