# Consolidate — Memory Maintenance and Evolution ## Keywords consolidate, maintenance, cleanup, compress, decay, merge, evolve, sleep, replay, consolidation, memory health, prune, clean up, optimize memories, reduce noise ## Overview Run the full memory maintenance pipeline — modeled after biological memory consolidation. This includes heat decay (cooling unused memories), compression (full text to gist to tags), CLS consolidation (episodic to semantic), causal graph discovery, and sleep-like replay that strengthens important memory clusters. **Use this skill when:** After a long session, after bulk imports, periodically (weekly), or when memory_stats shows too many hot memories or high noise. ## Workflow ### Step 1: Run Full Consolidation ``` cortex:consolidate({}) ``` This runs the complete pipeline: 1. **Decay cycle** — Cool memories by heat * decay_factor. Memories below cold threshold (0.05) become candidates for compression 2. **Compression** — Old memories compress through stages: full text (7+ days) to gist, gist (30+ days) to tags 3. **CLS consolidation** — Frequently-accessed episodic memories promote to semantic store (like hippocampal-to-cortical transfer) 4. **Causal discovery** — PC Algorithm runs on entity co-occurrences to discover causal relationships 5. **Sleep compute** — Dream-like replay strengthens clusters, summarizes related memories, and re-embeds compressed content ### Step 2: Review Results The response includes: - `memories_decayed` — ho...
