wicked-brain-review

name	wicked-brain-review
description	Browse stored memories with filters on type, tier, and recency. Read-only — use wicked-brain:forget to archive or wicked-brain:consolidate to promote. Use when: "review my memories", "browse decisions", "what have I stored", "list recent gotchas", "brain review".

wicked-brain:review

Filtered browse over the memory store. Combines the server memory_stats and recent_memories actions with agent-side frontmatter filtering to render a compact, navigable list.

Cross-Platform Notes

This skill uses npx wicked-brain-call for all server interaction. The CLI works on macOS, Linux, and Windows; it discovers the brain, auto-starts the server, and writes a per-call audit record under {brain}/calls/.

• File reads use the agent-native Read tool
• Paths always use forward slashes

Config

Brain discovery + server lifecycle are handled by wicked-brain-call. Pass --brain <path> to override the auto-detected brain, or set WICKED_BRAIN_PATH. The CLI starts the server on first call (no manual init required) and writes an audit record to {brain}/calls/ per call.

Parameters

• filter_type (optional): decision, pattern, preference, gotcha, or discovery
• filter_tier (optional): working, episodic, or semantic
• days (optional, default 30): only include memories indexed within this many days
• limit (optional, default 20): max results
• depth (optional, default 0): 0=frontmatter only, 1=+summary line, 2=full content

Process

Step 1: Fetch breakdown

Start with the aggregate view so the user can see the landscape before the list:

npx wicked-brain-call memory_stats

Render total, by_type, by_tier, by_age as a one-line header.

Step 2: Fetch candidates

npx wicked-brain-call recent_memories --param days={days} --param limit={limit * 3}

Over-fetch by 3x so agent-side type/tier filtering still returns a useful page.

Step 3: Filter

For each returned memory, parse its frontmatter. Drop any memory whose type or tier does not match filter_type / filter_tier when those parameters are set. Stop once limit matches are collected.

Step 4: Render

For each matching memory, render at the requested depth:

• Depth 0: {path} — type={type} tier={tier} importance={importance} age={age}
• Depth 1: depth 0 line + first 3 lines of content
• Depth 2: depth 0 line + full content

Age is derived from indexed_at relative to now (Xd / Xh).

Step 5: Suggest next actions

After the list, suggest one of:

• wicked-brain:forget path=… to archive a specific entry
• wicked-brain:consolidate to promote patterns and drop expired entries
• wicked-brain:retag if many entries have thin contains: arrays

Notes

• Review is read-only. It never mutates the index or files.
• For semantic search (content keywords) use wicked-brain:search or the recall mode of wicked-brain:memory — review is for browsing by metadata.
• If no filters are given and days=30, this is effectively "show me what I have been remembering lately, grouped by type and tier".
