Reorganize memory files for clarity, efficiency, and relevance. Like filesystem defragmentation but for knowledge.
For each file, note: line count, last modified, topic coverage, staleness.
| Bloated file | >300 lines, covers many topics | Split into focused files | | Duplicate info | Same fact in multiple places | Consolidate to one location | | Stale entries | References to completed work, old dates, resolved issues | Remove or archive | | Orphan files | Files in memory/ never referenced or updated | Review, merge, or remove |
