Tools (15)
Read from the source code; the running server may differ. Descriptions are the server’s own words; hidden characters are shown as [U+…].
memshelf_adviseReport what your context window is made of and what you could put down — breakdown plus ranked proposals; writes nothing. Pass your window's occupants (label, size, live or not); with none it reports the shelf alone.
memshelf_doctorDiagnose shelf integrity: episode schema, digest contract at rest, leaked secrets, ledger consistency, INDEX budget. Read-only; fixes nothing. `check_remote` adds the network probe for a public remote.
memshelf_importImport an exported transcript for shelvingRetro-shelve an exported dialog without pulling it through context: `discover` lists conversations by content markers, `extract` writes one cleaned conversation to a working file for segmenting and shelving.
memshelf_indexReturn the shelf INDEX — the small recall entry point. Read it before answering anything about past work, then recall only what you need.
memshelf_initBootstrap a memory shelfCreate (or top up) a memory shelf: layout, categories, INDEX preamble, POLICY.md, shelf.yml. Idempotent; never overwrites existing files.
memshelf_lint_digestCheck a digest against the contract while it is still being written — the same validator `memshelf_shelve` runs, writing nothing. `strict` turns warnings into failures.
memshelf_purgeDelete episodes past their retain_untilcan change or delete dataDrop episodes past `retain_until`, then reindex. Dry run unless `apply=true`; removes working-tree files only, git history keeps them.
memshelf_rebuildRegenerate the shelf's derived files from its episodesRegenerate the derived files (ledger.tsv, .meta.json, INDEX.md, stats.svg) from the episodes; `check=true` only reports drift. Hand-run it only on a shelf whose bot is not rendering.
memshelf_recallFetch a shelved episode by id, or one `## Section` of it, as a data envelope. Prefer the section when it answers the question.
memshelf_resolveResolve multi-writer shelf conflictsSettle the two-writers-on-parallel-branches conflict: union derived rows, rebuild INDEX, run doctor. Episode conflicts are reported, never auto-merged; safe outside a conflict too.
memshelf_rollupCollapse a period into one digest-of-digestsArchive a period's episodes behind one digest-of-digests you write, shrinking INDEX; nothing is deleted. Not the answer to `index-bloat`.
memshelf_searchGrep the shelf for episodes matching every query token; returns addresses and snippets. Use when the episode id is unknown.
memshelf_shelveShelve an episode to the memory shelfOffload one closed topic to the shelf as a durable, indexed episode — redaction, digest contract and git commit included. Derived files are not written here — they are rendered by `memshelf_rebuild` or the shelf's bot. Details: docs/tools.md.
memshelf_statsReport the shelf's token economy: standing cost vs shelved mass, claimed compression, realized savings from logged recalls.
memshelf_syncFast-forward the shelf clone to its remoteFetch and fast-forward the shelf clone to its remote, writing nothing else — for a clone behind the bot's render or another session's shelve. Refuses on a dirty tree or a diverged branch, with the fix.
