Memory Q&A (Clarification Session)

Claude reviews memories and asks YOU for clarifications on things that are unclear, outdated, or potentially wrong.

What This Skill Does

This is a reverse Q&A - instead of you asking Claude questions, Claude asks YOU questions to improve memory quality.

1. •Reads all memory entities
2. •Identifies fuzzy/uncertain items:
   • •Observations that seem contradictory
   • •Old info that may be stale
   • •Vague statements lacking specifics
   • •Missing context or rationale
   • •Claims without evidence
3. •Asks YOU targeted questions to clarify
4. •Updates memory with your answers

Example Questions Claude Might Ask

• •"Memory says 'chose PostgreSQL for performance' - what specific performance issue drove this decision?"
• •"The committee quorum is mentioned but I'm unclear - is it 3 coaches or 3 agents per coach?"
• •"Memory mentions trailing stops but not the specific percentages - what are they?"
• •"There's a note about 'V3 being dormant' - is this still true? Should we delete V3 references?"
• •"I see 'position management with scale-out' - what are the scale-out thresholds?"
• •"The 7-layer hierarchy mentions 'Coaches/Planners under selection pressure' - how exactly are coaches selected/culled?"

Process

1. •Load Memory: Call mcp__memory__read_graph
2. •Analyze Each Entity for:
   • •Vagueness: Lacks specifics (numbers, names, files)
   • •Staleness: Old timestamps, outdated references
   • •Contradictions: Conflicts with other memories
   • •Missing "why": Facts without rationale
   • •No evidence: Claims without proof
3. •Prioritize Questions: Most important/impactful first
4. •Present Questions: One at a time with context
5. •Capture Answers: User responds
6. •Update Memory: Add clarified observations
7. •Mark as Clarified: Add timestamp to show when verified

Output Format

=== MEMORY Q&A SESSION ===

I found 5 items that need clarification. Let me ask about each:

QUESTION 1/5:
Memory: "Committee uses weighted voting"
Issue: Missing details - what are the weights? How computed?
Question: What determines a coach's voting weight in the committee?

[User answers]

✓ Updated: Added "Voting weights based on recent performance..."

QUESTION 2/5:
...

=== SESSION COMPLETE ===
Clarified: 5 items
Memory reliability improved from 0.65 → 0.82

When to Use

• •After /reflect shows issues
• •When Claude seems confused about project details
• •Periodically (weekly) for maintenance
• •After major changes to the project
• •When starting work in an unfamiliar area of the codebase
