memory-gc

A command for inspecting and rotating JSON Lines log files used to store security-hunting history. JSON Lines means one JSON record per line, making logs easy to append but prone to growing indefinitely.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to check the hunt-memory directory, rotate audit, pattern, or journal logs above a size limit, or purge their numbered backups.
Why use it?
Long-running logs can become unnecessarily large and difficult to manage. This command reports their size, rotates oversized files, and can remove old backups.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

memory-gc scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

/memory-gc

Garbage-collect the hunt-memory directory. Reports current sizes, rotates oversized files past a configurable cap, or purges old backups.

Why This Exists

Append-only logs grow without bound. On active hunters:

  • audit.jsonl can reach 100 MB+ in months (every outbound request)
  • patterns.jsonl and journal.jsonl accumulate forever

This command surfaces that growth and gives you a one-shot fix.

Usage

/memory-gc                       # report only
/memory-gc --rotate              # rotate files above 10 MB (default cap)
/memory-gc --rotate --max-mb 5   # custom cap
/memory-gc --purge-backups       # delete all .1/.2/.3 backups
/memory-gc --dir <path>          # scan a non-default hunt-memory dir

What It Does

  1. Walks the hunt-memory directory recursively.
  2. Finds audit.jsonl, patterns.jsonl, and journal.jsonl files at any depth.
  3. Prints a per-file table: live size, total (live + backups), backup count, status.
  4. With --rotate: renames oversize files to <file>.1, shifting older backups up to <file>.{keep}. The oldest is dropped.
  5. With --purge-backups: removes every .1/.2/.3 backup, keeping only live files.

Implementation

The agent shells out to:

python -m tools.memory_gc [args]

from the repo root.

Defaults

  • Rotation cap: 10 MB per file
  • Backups kept: 3 (so <file>.1 newest → <file>.3 oldest)
  • Scope: hunt-memory/ and any nested target dirs

Auto-rotation fires automatically in two places:

  1. On every write — inside AuditLog.log() and PatternDB.save() when the next append would exceed the cap.
  2. On session end — a Stop hook in .claude/settings.json runs python3 -m tools.memory_gc --rotate so long sessions that wrote a lot but never crossed the cap mid-session still get cleaned up.

So this slash command is mainly for ad-hoc reporting (/memory-gc with no args) and manual cleanup of accumulated backups (/memory-gc --purge-backups).

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

memory-gc is a command published in the GitHub repository Awarexone/Agentic-Bug-Hunter (4,651 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 37 tokens to every session and 562 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
