consolidate-memory

Find, consolidate, and track the canonical memory location.

When to use

Use this skill when:

• Starting a new work session
• Memory feels fragmented across locations
• You need to know where to look for memory

Steps

Step 1: Check for existing memory

Search in this order:

1. memory/ in current directory (.)
2. memory/ in git repo root (via git rev-parse --show-toplevel)
3. ~/.wlm/memory/

Use Bash with ls to check each location. Note what you find.

Step 2: If multiple found

• Merge all content into ~/.wlm/memory/
• Keep all unique files from each location
• Create directory structure if needed: corps/tools/, projects/, teams/roles/

Step 3: If none found

• Ask user: "I couldn't find any existing memory. Is there a memory location you'd like me to note?"

Step 4: Update SOUL.md

After consolidation, update ~/.wlm/SOUL.md with:

# SOUL

## Memory

- Canonical path: ~/.wlm/memory/
- Consolidated: YYYY-MM-DD
- Sources: [list of merged locations if any]

Use the current date for the consolidation date (check CLAUDE.md for currentDate).

Verification

• Confirm ~/.wlm/SOUL.md updated with the canonical memory path
• List contents of ~/.wlm/memory/ to confirm structure
