Usage

/brain:status

No arguments required.

What It Does

/brain:status reads your brain's index, associations, review queue, and directory structure to generate a health overview. It covers six areas:

1. Memory Inventory

Total count of active, archived, and consolidated memories, broken down by category and type.

2. Strength Distribution

How your memories are distributed across strength tiers:

• Strong (>= 0.6) — Well-reinforced, healthy memories
• Moderate (0.3 - 0.6) — Active but could benefit from recall
• Weak (0.1 - 0.3) — Consolidation candidates
• Fading (< 0.1) — Archive candidates

3. Network Health

Statistics about the associative network:

• Total association links and average weight
• Orphaned memories (no connections to other memories)
• Strongest and weakest links

4. Review Queue

How many memories are due for spaced repetition review and their distribution by urgency.

5. Expertise Profile Summary

A summary of detected expertise areas and their levels.

6. Recommendations

Actionable suggestions based on the current brain state.

💡 Recommendations
  • 5 memories are due for review — run /brain:review
  • 6 weak memories could be consolidated — run /brain:consolidate
  • 2 fading memories will be archived on next sleep
  • 2 orphaned memories have no associations — consider linking them
  • Last sleep: 8 days ago — consider running /brain:sleep
