Sleep Status (Memory Health Report)

Observation-only memory health report. Analyzes access patterns, calculates decay weights, and flags stale content for review. Does not modify anything — pure status snapshot. Part of the cognitive sleep cycle.

Steps

1. 1.

   🔄 Memory Replay (Access Pattern Focus)

   Understand access patterns and identify stale content.

   1. Run recent_activity to retrieve events from the last 24-48 hours
   2. Note which files were accessed recently (active/fresh)
   3. Identify files that have been dormant (not accessed)
   4. Categorize content by tier:
      • thinking/sequential/: Ephemeral session data
      • thinking/workflows/: Workflow session data
      • Other memory://: Long-term knowledge
   5. Create access pattern summary

   IMPORTANT: This step is observation-only. Do NOT use read_memory - it would reset decay clocks.

   • no_read_memory: NEVER use read_memory in this workflow - it resets decay clocks
   • observation_only: Use list_memories for metadata, not read_memory for content
2. 2.

   🍂 Status Report (Memory Health)

   Calculate decay weights and compile memory health report.

   1. Run list_memories to enumerate all memory files with decay metadata
   2. Apply tier-specific decay rules:
      • thinking/sequential/: 7-day grace period, 30-day half-life
      • thinking/workflows/: 14-day grace period, 30-day half-life
      • Other memory://: 14-day grace period, 30-day half-life
   3. Calculate decay_weight for each file based on last_accessed timestamp
   4. Flag severely decayed content (decay_weight < 0.25) for review

   CRITICAL: Do NOT use read_memory - this would reset decay clocks and defeat the purpose!

   Decay formula: weight = 2^(-days_since_access / half_life) after grace period

   Output: Return status report as workflow output - DO NOT write to memory:// Include: Tier breakdown, decay statistics, flagged items for review

   Guardrails

   • no_read_memory: NEVER use read_memory in this workflow - it resets decay clocks
   • no_write_memory: NEVER use write_memory - status reports are ephemeral, return as output
   • observation_only: This is a read-only status snapshot, nothing is modified
   • no_deletion: Decay affects ranking only, never delete content automatically
   • flag_threshold: Flag items with decay_weight < 0.25 for human review
