Forget — Remove Observations from Memory

Remove specific observations from the observational memory system.

Steps

1. Determine the memory directory by running:

   python3 -c "import os; print(os.path.expanduser('~/.claude/projects/' + os.getcwd().replace('/','-') + '/memory/'))"
   

2. Read the observations file (observations.md) from that directory.

3. If no arguments provided ($ARGUMENTS is empty):

   • Show the current observations
   • Ask the user what they want to forget

4. If a topic is provided ($ARGUMENTS):

   • Find all observations related to the topic
   • Show the matching observations to the user
   • Ask for confirmation before removing

5. After confirmation:

   • Remove the matching observations from observations.md
   • Preserve all non-matching observations with their structure intact
   • Write the updated file

6. Also check MEMORY.md for any related entries and offer to remove those too.

7. Confirm what was removed and what remains.

Important: Always ask for confirmation before deleting any observations. Show exactly what will be removed.
