health

A health-check command for the memory system, with optional details about component status and response-time percentiles.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to check system health, inspect component details, or view timing percentiles.
Why use it?
It quickly shows whether the system is working and can reveal slow operations through timing data.

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

health 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 yesterday.

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.

NAME
    health - Health check with optional timing percentiles

SYNOPSIS
    /memory:health [--timing] [--verbose]

DESCRIPTION
    Perform a quick health check of the memory system. Shows component status
    and optionally includes latency percentiles from collected metrics.

OPTIONS
    --help, -h       Show this help message
    --timing         Include latency percentiles from metrics
    --verbose        Show detailed component status

EXAMPLES
    /memory:health
    /memory:health --timing
    /memory:health --verbose
    /memory:health --timing --verbose
    /memory:health --help

SEE ALSO
    /memory:status for detailed system status
    /memory:metrics for all collected metrics
    /memory:traces for recent operation traces

                                                                      HEALTH(1)

/memory:health - System Health Check

Quick health check of the memory system with optional timing information.

Your Task

You will check the health of the memory system components.

Arguments format: $ARGUMENTS

Parse the following options:

  • --timing - Include latency percentiles
  • --verbose - Show detailed component status

Execute the health check:

PLUGIN_ROOT="${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT:-$(ls -d ~/.claude/plugins/cache/git-notes-memory/memory-capture/*/ 2>/dev/null | head -1)}"
uv run --directory "$PLUGIN_ROOT" python3 "$PLUGIN_ROOT/scripts/health.py" $ARGUMENTS

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.

health is a command published in the GitHub repository zircote/git-notes-memory (4 stars, last pushed 8mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 7 tokens to every session and 825 once invoked, about $0.0000 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 2026-08-31.
