Excerpt

Show the health and status of the memory system.

What To Do

1. Check Memory System Exists

If CLAUDE.local.md and memory/ directory don't exist:

Memory system not initialized. Run /recall-init to set up.

Daily Logs (memory/daily/):

Total number of files
Date range (oldest to newest)
Total size
Entries in last 7 days

Registers (memory/registers/):

Number of register files
Total size
Count entries with last_verified dates older than 30 days (stale)
Count entries marked [superseded]

Archive (memory/archive/):

Number of files
Total size
