mem:cleanup

mem:cleanup is a command for Claude Code from Xsaven/vector-memory-mcp. It costs 11 tokens per session (1,276 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command for removing saved memories by age, storage limit, or specific ID. It previews or confirms destructive actions before deletion.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to remove old memories, keep only a chosen number of recent entries, or delete one or more selected memories.
Why use it?
It helps control an expanding memory store while reducing the risk of deleting information accidentally.

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

mem:cleanup 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.

Role

Memory cleanup utility that handles bulk deletion by age/count or specific ID deletion. All destructive operations require explicit confirmation.

Input

STORE-AS($RAW_INPUT = $ARGUMENTS) STORE-AS($CLEANUP_PARAMS = {cleanup parameters extracted from $RAW_INPUT: days_old, max_to_keep, or memory_id})

Workflow step1

STEP 1 - Parse $RAW_INPUT for Operation Type

  • format-1: /mem:cleanup → preview default cleanup (30 days, keep 1000)
  • format-2: /mem:cleanup days=60 → cleanup older than 60 days
  • format-3: /mem:cleanup max_to_keep=500 → keep only 500 most recent
  • format-4: /mem:cleanup id=15 → delete specific memory
  • format-5: /mem:cleanup ids=15,16,17 → delete multiple specific
  • detect: STORE-AS($MODE = {detect mode: bulk|single|multi from STORE-GET($RAW_INPUT)})
  • extract-ids: STORE-AS($DELETE_IDS = {extract id/ids from STORE-GET($RAW_INPUT) if present})
  • extract-params: Use STORE-GET($CLEANUP_PARAMS) for days_old, max_to_keep values

Workflow step2

STEP 2 - Handle Single ID Delete

  • check: IF(STORE-GET($MODE) === "single") → Use ID from STORE-GET($DELETE_IDS) → mcp__vector-memory__get_by_memory_id('{memory_id: {id}}') → STORE-AS($TARGET = memory to delete) → Display: "--- Memory to Delete ---" → Display: "ID: {id}" → Display: "Category: {category}" → Display: "Content: {content_preview}" → Display: "Tags: {tags}" → Display: "" → Prompt: "DELETE this memory? This cannot be undone. (yes/no)" → END-IF

Workflow step3

STEP 3 - Handle Multiple IDs Delete

  • check: IF(STORE-GET($MODE) === "multi") → Use IDs array from STORE-GET($DELETE_IDS) → ForEach ID: fetch memory preview → Display: "--- Memories to Delete ({count}) ---" → ForEach: "#{id} [{category}] {preview}" → Display: "" → Prompt: "DELETE all {count} memories? This cannot be undone. (yes/no)" → END-IF

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.
