forget

Delete or correct a MemMesh memory. Finds the item by search or id, confirms, then soft-deletes (default, sync-safe) or hard-deletes (GDPR/cleanup). Also handles "undo that" for a memory just added, and corrections via supersede. Use when removing outdated/incorrect/sensitive memories or cleaning up after experiments.

Delete or correct a MemMesh memory. Finds the item by search or id, confirms, then soft-deletes (default, sync-safe) or hard-deletes (GDPR/cleanup).

# forget Remove or correct what's in memory. **Always confirm before deleting.** ## 1. Find it ```jsonc { "name": "memory_search", "arguments": { "query": "<what to forget>", "projectId": "<repo>", "limit": 10 } } ``` Show the matches (id + content) and ask which to remove. ## 2. Delete ```jsonc { "name": "memory_delete", "arguments": { "id": "<id>" } } // soft: status→rejected, sync-safe { "name": "memory_delete", "arguments": { "id": "<id>", "hard": true } } // physical: GDPR / cleanup only ``` Default to **soft** delete — it stops surfacing in search and propagates the rejection to peer stores over sync. Use `hard: true` only for right-to-forget or operator cleanup. ## Correction vs deletion If the fact **changed** (not "was wrong to store"), don't delete — record a correction so provenance survives: `memory_observe` the new statement, then `memory_supersede` the stale id `byId` the new one. The engine also supersedes automatically when you observe a contradiction, so plain `memory_observe` is often enough. ## Undo a just-added memory If the user says "undo that" right after a save, search for the most recent item in scope (`memory_list`), confirm it's the one, and `memory_delete` it.
