Inception
Run Memento Vault consolidation to find patterns across notes.
Process
-
Determine mode:
- Default: incremental run
- Dry run: user says preview, dry run, or what would be found
- Full run: user says full, all notes, rescan, or backfill
-
Prefer the installed local script when available:
python3 ~/.claude/hooks/memento-inception.py --verbose [--dry-run] [--full]
-
If the script is unavailable, explain that Inception requires a local Memento install with the consolidation hook.
-
Interpret common outcomes:
- Lock held: another run is active
- Missing dependencies: install
numpy hdbscan scikit-learn
- No embeddings: reindex and embed the vault
- Config error: inspect
memento.yml
-
Report clusters found, notes written, and whether it was a dry run.
Rules
- Do not write pattern notes during dry runs.
- Do not hide dependency or indexing failures.
- If pattern notes are written, suggest reviewing the new notes.
