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:
- If no patterns provided, ask for patterns (space-separated, glob supported:
*, ?, [...]).
- Ask scope via AskUserQuestion:
Which scope?
- Global: applies to all projects (~/.memory/.ignore)
- Project: applies only to this project
- Run:
bash "<plugin_scripts_path>/ignore-topic.sh" add "<scope>" <pattern1> [pattern2 ...]
<scope>: global or the project dir path from SessionStart context.
remove:
- If no pattern provided, ask which pattern to remove.
- Ask scope (global or project).
- 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>
