Can I preview changes before they happen?

Yes, you can run the command with 'dryRun:true' to see which files would be renamed or merged without actually modifying any files in your vault.

How does the semantic matching work?

The skill uses AI to analyze the actual meaning of your notes rather than just comparing filenames. This allows it to find duplicates even if they use entirely different wording or reside in different categories.

Does this skill delete my original notes?

No. The skill moves original files to an '.archive/' subfolder within your project directory, ensuring that no data is permanently deleted during the consolidation process.

What happens if two notes have different content but the same topic?

The skill merges the content into a single file, organizing the information into chronological sections with timestamped headers to preserve the history of both entries.

Productivity & Workflow

Optimizes Claude Code knowledge bases by normalizing filenames and merging semantically similar notes using AI.

The Memory Consolidator skill is a specialized maintenance utility for developers using the Obsidian-based Claude Code memory system. It automates the cleanup of fragmented knowledge bases through a two-phase workflow: first, it identifies and shortens verbose filenames into concise titles; second, it leverages AI semantic analysis to detect and merge notes covering the same topics. By consolidating duplicates and preserving context via aliases and timestamped entries, this skill ensures your AI's long-term memory remains organized, efficient, and easy to navigate.
