Drain the agent's project memory block by block, relocating each entry into a home the user controls or archiving it.

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 doctor

Agent-memory is an unseen side-channel into every session's context window: facts accumulate there,
often by accident, that the user never reviews and cannot govern. This skill drains it. Technically
**nothing** should live in project memory — durable guidance belongs in homes the user controls
(project docs, project skills/rules, user-level skills/rules), and the rest is garbage. Block by
block, move each entry to its proper home or archive it, until memory trends toward empty and the
user — not the memory store — decides what reaches the context window.

## Golden rule

**The skill guesses and recommends; the user decides.** Every verdict, scope, form, and target is a
*proposal* the user confirms or flips. When unsure, ask. Nothing is moved, deleted, or written
without explicit per-item approval. For every block the user gets the whole fixed menu —
relocate/merge, archive (recoverable), keep, or a custom action they type — never just the
recommended verdict, never a pruned subset.

## Locate the memory

Find the memory store for the current project. Its location is agent-specific — other agents store

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add eai-org/agent-toolkit/memory-doctor@sha256:ceaea5fe14b02c9c

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.9, 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.
