Memory Consolidation

"The art of remembering is the art of forgetting what doesn't matter."

When This Skill Activates

• •Optimizing vault storage, archiving old entries, deduplicating
• •Keywords: "consolidate", "optimize memory", "clean up", "archive", "deduplicate"
• •Default for: Starlight Prime

What This Skill Does

Optimizes the Starlight Vaults by consolidating related entries, archiving stale data, deduplicating, and ensuring memory remains high-quality and retrievable. Inspired by AI-Ops research on memory consolidation patterns (Working -> Episodic -> Semantic -> Procedural).

Procedures

Procedure 1: Memory Hierarchy Consolidation

Following the AI-Ops memory hierarchy:

1. •

   Working Memory (current session context)

   • •Review items in current context
   • •Identify what should be promoted to persistent storage
2. •

   Episodic Memory (specific events/sessions)

   • •Review Session Notes older than 30 days
   • •Extract lasting insights, archive the rest
   • •Promote patterns to Semantic Memory
3. •

   Semantic Memory (general knowledge/facts)

   • •Review vault entries for accuracy
   • •Merge related entries into comprehensive entries
   • •Promote proven patterns to Procedural Memory
4. •

   Procedural Memory (how-to knowledge)

   • •Review skill effectiveness
   • •Update skills based on accumulated learnings
   • •Archive deprecated procedures

Procedure 2: Deduplication

1. •Scan vaults for entries with high similarity
2. •Compare content, timestamps, and confidence scores
3. •For duplicates: keep the entry with highest confidence
4. •Merge unique details from discarded duplicates
5. •Update all references to point to the kept entry
6. •Log deduplication actions for audit

Procedure 3: Quality Assessment

1. •Calculate vault health metrics:
   • •Entry count per vault
   • •Average confidence score
   • •Oldest entry age
   • •Index accuracy
   • •Retrieval success rate
2. •Identify low-quality entries (low confidence, never retrieved)
3. •Recommend actions: consolidate, archive, or remove
4. •Generate vault health report
5. •Store report in Operational Vault

Integration Points

• •Vault: All vaults (operates on all vaults)
• •Agents: Prime (authorizes consolidation), Sage (knowledge quality)
• •Notes: Archives old notes, creates consolidation reports

Quality Criteria

• •Did consolidation reduce total entries without losing knowledge?
• •Are remaining entries higher quality?
• •Were no high-confidence entries accidentally removed?
• •Is the vault healthier after consolidation?
