# /si:status ā Memory Health Dashboard
Quick overview of your project's memory state across all memory systems.
## Usage
```
/si:status # Full dashboard
/si:status --brief # One-line summary
```
## What It Reports
### Step 1: Locate all memory files
```bash
# Auto-memory directory
MEMORY_DIR="$HOME/.claude/projects/$(pwd | sed 's|/|%2F|g; s|%2F|/|; s|^/||')/memory"
# Count lines in MEMORY.md
wc -l "$MEMORY_DIR/MEMORY.md" 2>/dev/null || echo "0"
# List topic files
ls "$MEMORY_DIR/"*.md 2>/dev/null | grep -v MEMORY.md
# CLAUDE.md
wc -l ./CLAUDE.md 2>/dev/null || echo "0"
wc -l ~/.claude/CLAUDE.md 2>/dev/null || echo "0"
# Rules directory
ls .claude/rules/*.md 2>/dev/null | wc -l
```
### Step 2: Analyze capacity
| Metric | Healthy | Warning | Critical |
|--------|---------|---------|----------|
| MEMORY.md lines | < 120 | 120-180 | > 180 |
| CLAUDE.md lines | < 150 | 150-200 | > 200 |
| Topic files | 0-3 | 4-6 | > 6 |
| Stale entries | 0 | 1-3 | > 3 |
### Step 3: Quick stale check
For each MEMORY.md entry that references a file path:
```bash
# Verify referenced files still exist
grep -oE '[a-zA-Z0-9_/.-]+\.(ts|js|py|md|json|yaml|yml)' "$MEMORY_DIR/MEMORY.md" | while read f; do
[ ! -f "$f" ] && echo "STALE: $f"
done
```
### Step 4: Output
```
š Memory Status
Auto-Memory (MEMORY.md):
Lines: {{n}}/200 ({{bar}}) {{emoji}}
Topic files: {{count}} ({{names}})
Last updated: {{date}}
Project Rules:
CLAUDE.md: {{n}} lines
Rules: {{count}} files in .claude/rules/
User global: {{n}} lines (~/.claude/CLAUDE.md)
Health:
Capacity: {{healthy/warning/critical}}
Stale refs: {{count}} (files no longer exist)
Duplicates: {{count}} (entries repeated across files)
{{if recommendations}}
š” Recommendations:
- {{recommendation}}
{{endif}}
```
### Brief mode
```
/si:status --brief
```
Output: `š Memory: {{n}}/200 lines | {{count}} rules | {{status_emoji}} {{status_word}}`
## Interpretation
- **Green (< 60%)**: Plenty of room. Auto-memory is working well.
- **Yellow (60-90%)**: Getting full. Consider running `/si:review` to promote or clean up.
- **Red (> 90%)**: Near capacity. Auto-memory may start dropping older entries. Run `/si:review` now.
## Tips
- Run `/si:status --brief` as a quick check anytime
- If capacity is yellow+, run `/si:review` to identify promotion candidates
- Stale entries waste space ā delete references to files that no longer exist
- Topic files are fine ā Claude creates them to keep MEMORY.md under 200 linesHow to use
- Copy the skill content above
- Create a .claude/skills directory in your project
- Save as .claude/skills/claude-skills-status.md
- Use /claude-skills-status in Claude Code to invoke this skill
