description	Walk ~/.deepcode/memory/, merge duplicates, prune the index.

consolidate-memory

DeepCode's # command appends snippets to the user's persistent memory. Over time these accumulate duplicates and stale entries; this skill cleans them up.

When to invoke

• User says "consolidate my memory", "clean up notes", "dedupe memory".
• User notices the same hint surfacing twice in successive sessions.

Process

1. Read all files under ~/.deepcode/memory/ (one MD per topic).
2. Group by similarity — entries on the same topic / same fact.
3. Merge duplicates — keep the most recent, clearest phrasing.
4. Prune stale — if an entry references a removed file/dir or an outdated CLI flag, suggest deletion (don't auto-delete).
5. Update the index — ~/.deepcode/memory/MEMORY.md should still reference every remaining file. Drop dead links.

Anti-patterns

• Don't auto-delete anything — always show the proposed delete list and wait for user approval.
• Don't merge entries that LOOK similar but encode different decisions (e.g. "use pnpm" + "use yarn" — they aren't duplicates, they're a conflict to flag).

Output

A single proposed-changes block with each action: KEEP / MERGE → / DELETE / EDIT, and a final summary N files; M consolidated; K to delete. Then ask the user to approve before writing.
