remember:status

/remember:status - Remember Status

Displays brain statistics: file counts, recent activity, and brain health.

Usage

/remember:status

⚠️ MANDATORY: Use Built-in Tools Only (NO Bash!)

NEVER use Bash commands for brain operations. Use Claude Code's built-in tools which are auto-approved and require zero permission prompts:

Operation	✅ Use This	❌ NOT This
List files	LS tool	bash ls
Find files	Glob tool	bash find
Search content	Grep tool	bash grep
Read files	Read tool	bash cat
Write/create files	Write tool	bash echo > / bash tee
Count files	Glob tool + count results	bash wc
Check env vars	Already available as $REMEMBER_BRAIN_PATH	bash echo $VAR

For complex operations (stats, counting, multi-step), use a subagent (Task tool) that uses the same built-in tools.

Why: additionalDirectories auto-approves LS/Glob/Grep/Read/Write. Bash always prompts.

Steps

1. Resolve Brain Path

Read $REMEMBER_BRAIN_PATH env var, fallback ~/remember. Use this as {brain_path}. If brain path doesn't exist → tell user to run /remember:init.

2. Show Brain Statistics

See "What to show" below for the full output template.

3. Show Recent Activity

List recently modified files (last 7 days) across People/, Projects/, Journal/, Notes/.

4. Show Persona Summary

Read {brain_path}/Persona.md and show a brief summary of captured patterns.

5. Backup health check

Check if {brain_path}/.git/ exists (use LS tool on {brain_path}/.git):

• Exists → show Backup: ✅ git-tracked. If you want to be helpful, also run git -C {brain_path} status --porcelain | wc -l and surface uncommitted-file count if > 0 (e.g. Backup: ✅ git-tracked · 12 uncommitted files — consider committing).

• Missing → show a warning block at the end of the output:

  ⚠️  Backup: NOT git-tracked
  
  Your brain lives at {brain_path} but has no git history. A single bad
  capture or accidental delete could lose months of work.
  
  Recommended:
    cd {brain_path}
    git init
    git add .
    git commit -m "initial brain snapshot"
  
  (Optional) push to a private GitHub repo for off-machine backup.
