README

Excerpt

Show what memory context is currently available in this session.

What To Do

1. Check What's Auto-Loaded

These files load automatically via Claude Code's native mechanisms:

Via .claude/rules/ (deterministic):

.claude/rules/total-recall.md — memory protocol

Via CLAUDE.local.md (deterministic):

CLAUDE.local.md — working memory

2. Check What Exists On Disk

Read and report on what memory files are present:

Schema:

memory/SCHEMA.md — exists?

Daily Logs:

Today's log (memory/daily/[today].md) — exists? Entry count?
Yesterday's log — exists?

Registers:

List all .md files in memory/registers/ with entry counts

Archive:

List files in memory/archive/

3. Display
