Does clearing memory delete my code?

No, this skill only manages the internal session logs and memory files used by Claude Code; it does not delete your project source code.

Where are my archived sessions stored?

Archived files are moved to the .claude/memory/sessions/archive/ directory for manual review or future reference.

Is the archiving process destructive?

No, the compress command is non-destructive. It moves session files older than 30 days into monthly archive files rather than deleting them.

Can I recover files after a manual clear command?

The manual clear commands use 'rm -rf' which is a destructive operation. We recommend creating a backup before performing a full manual memory clear.

How often should I run the clear-memory skill?

It is recommended to run the compress command once a month as part of regular workspace maintenance.
