Audit Memory

You are running a high-integrity audit of the project's durable and feature memory for memory-hub.

Scope note: The tool speckit_memory_audit_cache(scope="memory") validates SQLite cache integrity only (stale hashes, orphaned rows, missing files, synthesis word budget). It does not evaluate content quality. Full content-quality checks (stale decisions, contradictions, leakage, noise) are performed by this AI command only — they require querying the cache or reading the backup markdown files and applying the rubric below.

Goal

Validate the quality, accuracy, and density of memory artifacts. Identify stale, contradictory, or low-signal entries that degrade the project's long-term intelligence.

Audit is intentionally expensive and may read all memory. Normal synthesis must not; it relies on MCP queries. IMPORTANT: You MUST run speckit_memory_audit_cache(scope="memory") first to validate the SQLite cache sync health. If the cache is synced, query the cache for content quality evaluation. If you must read .md backups to evaluate content, read them explicitly using your file-reading tools.

Operating Constraints

• STRICTLY READ-ONLY: This command is analytical. Do not modify any files.
• Evidence-Based: Every finding must cite a specific entry or lack thereof.

Detection Scope

Check for:

• Stale/Obsolete: Decisions or patterns that no longer apply to the current codebase.
• Contradictions: Memory entries that conflict with the Constitution or other memory files.
• Noise/Triviality: Routine history, speculative notes, or implementation details that lack durable value.
• Selection Hygiene: Deprecated or superseded decisions are not selected during synthesis.
• Leakage: Feature-specific details that belong in {specs_root}/ but have leaked into {memory_root}/.
• Synthesis Drift: {memory_synthesis_filename} is out of sync with selected memory.
• Synthesis Budget: {memory_synthesis_filename} exceeds configured retrieval.max_synthesis_words.
• Formatting Issues: Entries that are too long, vague, or repetitive.
• Cache Integrity: Missing source files, invalid references, orphaned DB rows, duplicate memory entries, and stale hashes in the local SQLite cache (detected via speckit_memory_audit_cache).
