Memory consolidation for Claude Code — the /dream command that should exist.

---

Why

Claude Code shows /dream in the /memory UI, but the command doesn't exist yet (#39135, #38426, #38461). Auto Dream is in gradual rollout — this plugin gives you the /dream command now.

What It Does

/dream audits and consolidates your auto memory files:

1. Audit — reads every file in your memory directory, checks frontmatter, flags format violations
2. Propose — presents a structured report of what to fix (stale content, duplicates, format drift)
3. Execute — after your approval, extracts inline content, deduplicates, renames session-dated files, rebuilds MEMORY.md as a clean index
4. Verify — confirms every index entry links to a real file with valid frontmatter

No changes are made without your approval.

Install

Option A: Plugin marketplace (recommended)

/plugin marketplace add jl-cmd/claude-dream
/plugin install dream@claude-dream

Option B: Local plugin directory

git clone https://github.com/jl-cmd/claude-dream.git
claude --plugin-dir ./claude-dream

Usage

/dream

Or Claude may invoke it automatically when you say "consolidate memory", "clean up memory", or "dream".

How It Works

The skill enforces the memory format contract from Claude Code's system prompt:

Rule	What Dream Checks
MEMORY.md is an index	No inline content, tables, or multi-line facts
Topic files need frontmatter	name, description, type fields present
Valid types only	user, feedback, project, reference
Semantic naming	Session-dated files flagged for rename
Under 200 lines	MEMORY.md line count check
No duplicates	Facts appearing in multiple files flagged
Stale content	TODOs/Next sections older than 14 days flagged

Background

Built from Claude Code's own system prompt instructions for auto memory, which define the format contract, memory types, and organization rules. The skill codifies these into an auditable, repeatable process.

Sources

• Claude Code auto memory system prompt -- the format contract injected into every session, which defines memory types (user, feedback, project, reference), the MEMORY.md index structure (one-line entries, 200-line limit), frontmatter requirements, and organization rules. This is not a public docs page -- it's the client system prompt itself.
