brain-forget

Remove a manual memory previously stored with `/brain-remember`. Partial text matches are supported — you don't need the exact phrase.

Instructions

The user provides the text to match as an argument.

Run:

python3 ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/brain_engine.py forget "$ARGS" "$CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR"

Show which memories were removed and confirm success.

If no match is found, say so clearly and suggest: 1. Running `/brain-status` to see what's currently stored 2. Trying a shorter or different keyword from the memory text

Examples

| Command | What it removes | |---------|----------------| | `/brain-forget RS256` | Any memory containing "RS256" | | `/brain-forget always use` | Conventions starting with "always use" | | `/brain-forget postgres` | Any memory mentioning postgres |

Note: Only removes **manual memories** added via `/brain-remember`. Memories captured automatically from agent sessions (tasks, decisions) cannot be removed with this command — use `/brain-clear` to wipe all memory.
