How do I find the ID of the memory I want to forget?

You can use the /ccmem-list command to see a full list of all active memories and their corresponding IDs.

Can I preview a memory before archiving it?

Yes. The skill automatically runs a show command to display the memory's title, type, and metadata, then waits for a explicit 'yes' confirmation before proceeding.

Is archiving reversible?

While this specific skill focuses on archiving, the data remains in your local ccmem storage with an 'archived' status, allowing for manual recovery if necessary.

What happens when a memory is archived using ccmem-forget?

The memory's status is updated to 'archived' and its confidence score is set to 0. This ensures the information is preserved in history but will no longer influence Claude's behavior or decisions.
