Memory Init - Reset Memory to Clean State

Backs up and resets state files. Optionally resets learned patterns and runbooks.

Inputs

Workflow

1. Check Confirmation

• If confirm not true: output error and usage, stop
• "Must set confirm=true to proceed. This will clear your memory state."

2. Backup Before Init

• Create memory/backups/YYYYMMDD_HHMMSS/
• Copy: state/current_work, state/environments, learned/patterns, learned/tool_fixes, learned/tool_failures, learned/runbooks, learned/service_quirks, learned/teammate_preferences
• Keep last 10 backups, delete older

3. Backup Patterns (if preserve_patterns)

• Save learned/patterns.yaml content before reset

4. Reset State Files

• current_work: active_issues=[], open_mrs=[], follow_ups=[], notes="Memory initialized"
• environments: Template with stage, production, konflux (status unknown), ephemeral_namespaces=[]

5. Reset Learned (if reset_learned)

• patterns: Clear unless preserve_patterns
• runbooks: Empty with commit_format, branch_format from config
• teammate_preferences: Empty
• service_quirks: Empty

6. Restore Patterns (if reset_learned and preserve_patterns)

• Write patterns_backup back to learned/patterns.yaml

7. Log Init

• memory_session_log("Memory initialized", "reset_learned: X, preserve_patterns: Y")

8. Output Format

## ✅ Memory Initialized

### 💾 Backup Created

**Location:** memory/backups/YYYYMMDD_HHMMSS/
**Files backed up:** N

### State Files Reset

- ✅ state/current_work.yaml
- ✅ state/environments.yaml

### Learned Files Reset (if reset_learned)

- ✅ learned/runbooks.yaml
- ✅ learned/teammate_preferences.yaml
- ✅ learned/service_quirks.yaml
- ℹ️ learned/patterns.yaml - Preserved (if preserve_patterns)
