memory-status

/jkz:memory-status is the at-a-glance view of your memory directory’s health. It answers a single question fast: is the memory in good shape, or does it need attention? Run it when you want the headline numbers without the full audit.

It is the lightest of the three memory commands — a dashboard, not an investigation. When it flags trouble, it points you at /jkz:memory-review for the details.

When to use

Run /jkz:memory-status as a periodic pulse check on the memory directory, or whenever a session start warns that memory may be drifting. It does no analysis of its own beyond surfacing the counts — its job is to tell you, quickly, whether deeper curation is warranted.

Key behavior

The command runs memory-curate.js in status mode and renders a compact dashboard: a health verdict, a metrics table (total files, stale files older than 30 days, overlap pairs), and a by-type breakdown. The verdict drives the next step — good means no action; needs_review and critical both send you to /jkz:memory-review to identify what needs fixing.
