Audit the project's persistent agent memories for backfire-risk, stale/superseded state, contradictions, redundancy, and bloat. Lists problems for the user to disposition - does NOT auto-correct. Surfaced on a 14-day cadence by a SessionStart hook. Use when the user asks to audit/review/clean up memories, or when the overdue reminder fires.

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 audit

Keep the memory store **true and non-backfiring**. Memories are loaded into every session, so a wrong, stale, or over-prescriptive entry silently steers behaviour. This skill runs a periodic review.

Surfaced every 14 days by `~/.claude/hooks/memory-audit-due.sh` (SessionStart), gated on `~/.claude/skills/memory-audit/.last_audit`.

## Run order

1. **Pre-pass (cheap, mechanical).** This also resets the 14-day timer:
   ```bash
   python3 ~/.claude/skills/memory-audit/scan.py
   ```
   It lists the project's memory files with age/size and shortlists stale-marker / bloat / oldest candidates, and prints the MEMORY.md index size vs budget. Derives the memory dir from cwd; pass `--dir <path>` to override.

2. **Dispatch read-only auditors in parallel** (one message, multiple Agent calls, for context hygiene). Batch the files by type (user-profiles + profiling-feedback / feedback-rules / project / reference) so each worker applies a consistent lens. Every worker prompt MUST say: READ-ONLY, do not modify; read full content (not skim); flag only problems; return `FILENAME - [CATEGORY, severity] one-line issue ("quote")`; end with a CLEAN list.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add kalabint/llm-tooling/memory-audit@sha256:a3aee2195dd142a7

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260907.47ea7d2, 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.
