ignore-topic

ignore-topic

Manage .ignore rules — glob patterns that prevent matching topic slugs from being archived. Topics still get tagged but archival is skipped (no LLM summary call, no file written).

Step 1: Determine operation

Parse the user's message for operation (add/remove/list) and patterns. If clear, skip to Step 2.

Otherwise, ask using AskUserQuestion:

What would you like to do?
- Add: Add ignore patterns (topics matching these will not be archived)
- Remove: Remove an existing ignore pattern
- List: Show all current ignore rules

Step 2: Execute

add:

1. If no patterns provided, ask for patterns (space-separated, glob supported: *, ?, [...]).
2. Ask scope via AskUserQuestion:

   Which scope?
   - Global: applies to all projects (~/.memory/.ignore)
   - Project: applies only to this project
   

3. Run:

   bash "<plugin_scripts_path>/ignore-topic.sh" add "<scope>" <pattern1> [pattern2 ...]
   

   <scope>: global or the project dir path from SessionStart context.

remove:

1. If no pattern provided, ask which pattern to remove.
2. Ask scope (global or project).
3. Run:

   bash "<plugin_scripts_path>/ignore-topic.sh" remove "<scope>" "<pattern>"
   

list:

bash "<plugin_scripts_path>/ignore-topic.sh" list "<project_dir>"

Path resolution

• <plugin_scripts_path>: from SessionStart injection Plugin scripts path: ...
• <project_dir>: from SessionStart injection Your persistent memory is stored at <project_dir>
