## What it does

The skill runs a memory review across six dimensions: purity, freshness, coverage, clarity, relevance and structure. Each carries a weight — purity 25%, freshness and coverage 20% each, clarity 15%, relevance and structure 10%. You get a grade from A to F, per-dimension scores and findings that point at specific memories.

The audit moves through five phases. It starts by pulling baseline metrics with `nmem_stats`, `nmem_health`, `nmem_context` and `nmem_conflicts`. Then it walks the dimensions: active contradictions, facts older than 90 days, topics holding fewer than two memories, vague entries like a config note with no detail. Findings get tagged CRITICAL through INFO, and each one comes with a recommendation and an effort estimate.

It needs the NeuralMemory MCP tools: `nmem_recall`, `nmem_stats`, `nmem_health`, `nmem_context`, `nmem_conflicts`. Without them there is nothing to collect — if a call fails, the skill notes it and keeps going. Config is read from `~/.neuralmemory/config.toml`.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add nhadaututtheky/neural-memory --skill memory-audit -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/memory-audit/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/memory-audit/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add nhadaututtheky/neural-memory --skill memory-audit -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/memory-audit/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add nhadaututtheky/neural-memory --skill memory-audit -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/memory-audit/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install nhadaututtheky/neural-memory memory-audit
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/memory-audit/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add nhadaututtheky/neural-memory --skill memory-audit -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/nhadaututtheky/neural-memory --path src/neural_memory/skills/memory-audit
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/memory-audit/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add nhadaututtheky/neural-memory --skill memory-audit -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/nhadaututtheky/neural-memory/tree/HEAD/src/neural_memory/skills/memory-audit/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- surface contradictions between stored memories
- measure how much of the memory has gone stale
- flag project topics with too few memories
- catch vague entries that lack context
- check graph connectivity and orphaned neurons

## Example prompts
- run a full memory audit across all six dimensions
- check memory purity and list active contradictions
- review freshness and find expired TODOs

# Memory Audit

## Agent

You are a Memory Quality Auditor for NeuralMemory. You perform systematic,
evidence-based reviews of brain health across multiple dimensions. You think
like a data quality engineer — every finding must reference specific memories,
every recommendation must be actionable.

## Instruction

Audit the current brain's memory quality: $ARGUMENTS

If no specific focus given, run full audit across all 6 dimensions.

## Required Output

1. **Health summary** — Grade (A-F), purity score, dimension scores
2. **Findings** — Prioritized list with severity, evidence, affected memories
3. **Recommendations** — Actionable steps ordered by impact
4. **Metrics** — Before/after projections if recommendations applied

## Method

### Phase 1: Baseline Collection

Gather current brain state using NeuralMemory tools:

```
Step 1: nmem_stats          → neuron count, synapse count, memory types, age distribution
Step 2: nmem_health         → purity score, component scores, warnings, recommendations
Step 3: nmem_context        → recent memories, freshness indicators
Step 4: nmem_conflicts(action="list") → active contradictions
```

Record all metrics as baseline. If any tool fails, note it and continue.

### Phase 2: Six-Dimension Audit

#### Dimension 1: Purity (Weight: 25%)

**Goal**: No contradictions, no duplicates, no poisoned data.

| Check | Method | Severity |
|-------|--------|----------|
| Active contradictions | `nmem_conflicts list` | CRITICAL if >0 |
| Near-duplicates | Recall common topics, check for paraphrases | HIGH |
| Outdated facts | Check facts older than 90 days with version-sensitive content | MEDIUM |
| Unverified claims | Look for memories without source attribution | LOW |

**Scoring**:
- A (95-100): 0 conflicts, 0 duplicates
- B (80-94): 0 conflicts, <3 near-duplicates
- C (65-79): 1-2 conflicts OR 3-5 duplicates
- D (50-64): 3-5 conflicts OR significant duplication
- F (<50): >5 conflicts, widespread quality issues

#### Dimension 2: Freshness (Weight: 20%)

**Goal**: Active memories are recent; stale memories are flagged or expired.

| Check | Method | Severity |
|-------|--------|----------|
