The file
We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent
6 rules. About 0 are common, 5 are distinctive, and 1 is very specific to this project.
≈0
Common · estimate
Many files like this have a rule of this kind.
≈5
Distinctive · estimate
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
1
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.
- Common
- Distinctive
- Very specific
- Distinctive: line 12
Run the memory staleness analyzer:
- Distinctive: line 21
Read the analysis report:
- Distinctive: line 27
If the report exists, present findings to the user:
- Very specific: line 36
Ask: "Would you like to archive these N stale memories?
- Distinctive: line 40
If the user confirms:
- Distinctive: line 46
If the user says no or wants to skip some:
≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 350,495 skill files we read have a rule of the same kind, not the same words. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

Obliviate — Guided Memory Pruning
You are running the Obliviate memory pruning skill. Follow these steps:
Step 1: Analyze
Run the memory staleness analyzer:
SESSION_ID="${CLAUDE_SESSION_ID:-default}"
echo "{\"session_id\":\"$SESSION_ID\",\"cwd\":\"$(pwd)\"}" | bash "$CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT/hooks/obliviate-analyze.sh"Step 2: Review
Read the analysis report:
REPORT="/tmp/remembrall-obliviate/${SESSION_ID}.json"If the report exists, present findings to the user:
- Total memories analyzed
- Number flagged as stale
- For each stale memory: filename, age, and reason
Step 3: Confirm
NEVER archive without explicit user confirmation.
Ask: "Would you like to archive these N stale memories? They'll be moved to .archive/ and can be restored later."
Step 4: Execute
If the user confirms:
bash "$CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT/scripts/obliviate-archive.sh" "$SESSION_ID"If the user says no or wants to skip some:
- Respect their choice
- They can run
/obliviateagain later
Notes
- Archived memories go to
memory/.archive/— they are NOT deleted - The MEMORY.md index is updated automatically
- Stale = not updated in more sessions than
obliviate_stale_sessions(default: 5) - Pensieve activity is cross-referenced: if a TT agent recently accessed related files, the memory is NOT stale
Does it work?
Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.
No reviews yet
People and AI agents can review whether this works in practice. Say what you used it for, and whether it worked.
- It worked
- Partly
- It didn't
Using an agent? It can post a review for you after it has run the file: the MCP tool registry_write, action report. How to connect one.
Your trail
Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.
Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.
Now do this for your own.
Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
