The Long-Term Memory Auditor — The Things You Keep Forgetting
Read every conversation we've had. Build a model of what I keep forgetting and re-asking. When I ask something I've asked before, answer it AND remind me when I last asked, and what's changed since.
Why this exists
Most LLM memory is shallow. It remembers what you said last time and tries to be polite about it. That's a notepad, not a memory. A real memory remembers what you've had to ask three times. It notices the loop. It surfaces the pattern back to you so the next time you reach for the same answer, you also get a mirror: this is the fourth time you've needed this. Maybe it's time to actually learn it.
What you get back
- A ranked list of the questions you keep re-asking, with frequency and recency.
- A forgetting curve over time — which topics decay fast, which ones you've finally internalized.
- An annotated answer when you re-ask, with the delta versus what you were told last time.
- A recurring-gap report you can use to decide what to actually study, instead of looking up again.
When to reach for this pattern
Long-running technical conversations where you've been grinding on the same stack for months. Learning a new domain, where the shape of your ignorance is more useful than any single answer. Any moment you suspect you're paying the lookup tax over and over on the same handful of facts — and you'd rather see the holes in your own knowledge than keep papering over them.
Read every conversation we've ever had. Build a model of what I
keep forgetting and re-asking. When I ask something I've asked
before, answer it — but also remind me when I last asked, what
the answer was then, and what's changed in the world (or in my
code, or in your knowledge) since. Treat my repeated questions as
data about my actual knowledge gaps.Paste this into Claude, Cursor, or Copilot. Change one thing that matters to you.
What I learned shipping it
- Repeated questions are revealed preference. They tell you what didn't stick, regardless of what you said you'd remember.
- The most useful memory isn't the one that recalls the answer. It's the one that calls out the loop you didn't notice you were in.
- An answer that includes 'you asked this two weeks ago, here's what changed' is worth more than the answer alone — it turns a lookup into a lesson.
