/greppable:memory — Toggle Session Memory Extraction

Usage

/greppable:memory — show current status /greppable:memory on — enable memory extraction /greppable:memory off — disable memory extraction

Flow

1. Read current config — check .claude/greppable.local.md (project) and ~/.claude/greppable.local.md (global) for memory key. Use:

project_val=$(grep -m1 '^memory:' .claude/greppable.local.md 2>/dev/null | awk '{print $2}')
global_val=$(grep -m1 '^memory:' ~/.claude/greppable.local.md 2>/dev/null | awk '{print $2}')
val="${project_val:-$global_val}"
[[ "$val" == "true" ]] && echo "enabled" || echo "disabled"

2. If no argument (status only):

   • Report: "Session memory extraction is currently enabled/disabled."
   • If enabled, show where memories are written: <gdl_root>/memory/active/
   • If disabled, explain: "Run /greppable:memory on to enable. When a new session starts, the previous session's transcript is processed into searchable .gdlm memory records."

3. If argument is on:

   • Find the config file. Prefer project-scope (.claude/greppable.local.md). If only global exists, use that. If neither exists, tell user to run /greppable:onboard first.
   • If memory: key exists and value is false, change memory: false → memory: true using Edit tool.
   • If memory: key exists and value is already true, confirm: "Memory extraction is already enabled."
   • If memory: key doesn't exist, add memory: true on a new line after discovery_auto_prompt: using Edit tool.
   • Confirm: "Memory extraction enabled. When your next session starts, the previous session will be processed into .gdlm records. Restart Claude Code for changes to take effect."

4. If argument is off:

   • Same config detection as on.
   • If memory: key exists and value is true, change memory: true → memory: false using Edit tool.
   • If memory: key exists and value is already false, confirm: "Memory extraction is already disabled."
   • If memory: key doesn't exist, add memory: false on a new line after discovery_auto_prompt: using Edit tool.
   • Confirm: "Memory extraction disabled. Session transcripts will no longer be processed. Restart Claude Code for changes to take effect."

5. If argument is anything else:

   • "Usage: /greppable:memory [on|off]"

Notes

• Always remind user that config changes require a Claude Code restart.
• The memory key is independent of layers_gdlm — you can have GDLM layer enabled (for manual memory files) without auto-extraction.
