forget

forget is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from wenlan-app/wenlan. It costs 41 tokens per session (436 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A command for removing one saved Wenlan memory by its exact identifier. Deletion is normally confirmation-gated because it cannot be undone.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to delete a specific memory after finding or supplying its exact ID.
Why use it?
It prevents accidental loss of project context and encourages corrections to be saved as replacements when history matters.

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

forget 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 3d 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

/forget

Permanently delete a memory by its source_id.

Safety

This cannot be undone by Wenlan. Prefer /capture with supersedes pointing at the old memory when history should be preserved.

Always confirm with the user before calling forget, unless the same user message already includes an exact id and an unambiguous delete instruction (for example they pasted the ID and said "delete this").

If the id is missing, call /recall first to find candidates or ask the user for the exact id. The confirmation reply must include the action and id:

delete <id>

A bare id is not confirmation.

Call

After confirmation, call:

forget(memory_id="<source_id>")

Delete only one memory per tool call. For bulk cleanup, use /curate captures so each item has its own decision.

When to use

  • User says "forget this", "delete that", "that's wrong, remove it".
  • User explicitly identifies a memory by ID, or confirms delete <id> after recall found the matching memory.

When NOT to use

  • For corrections, prefer storing a new memory with supersedes pointing at the old one. That preserves history. Use /capture with the supersedes arg instead. If your agent's trust level is below full, that write may stage for human review instead of taking effect immediately.
  • Bulk deletions: use /curate captures so each item has its own decision.
  • Page rebuilds: use /distill rebuild <page-id>.
Files

What ships with it

1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.
