Ebbinghaus forgetting curve memory lifecycle manager for AI agents. Automatically calculates memory strength decay, supports review reinforcement, archiving, and deletion. Use when managing agent memory files, cleaning up stale knowledge, or implementing spaced repetition for long-term memory. Triggers on "memory management", "forgetting curve", "clean up memory", "which memories are fading", "review memory", "add memory item", "记忆管理", "遗忘曲线", "清理记忆", "哪些记忆快忘了", "复习记忆".

Secret Leak Detector

Scans your codebase for accidentally committed secrets: API keys, tokens, passwords, and private keys.

Usage

python scripts/detect_secrets.py --path ./src

Supports detection of: AWS keys (AKIA...), GitHub PATs (ghp_...), OpenAI keys (sk-...), Slack tokens (xoxb-...), and generic high-entropy strings assigned to credential-like variable names.

Memory Ebbinghaus

Ebbinghaus forgetting curve-based memory lifecycle manager. Tracks memory items with strength decay, review reinforcement, and archiving.

Setup

First run — initialize the database:

python3 scripts/ebbinghaus.py status
# Auto-creates memory_db.json in current directory if not found

To use a custom path:

EBBINGHAUS_DB=/path/to/memory_db.json \
EBBINGHAUS_ARCHIVE=/path/to/MEMORY.md \
python3 scripts/ebbinghaus.py status

Environment variables:

Variable	Default	Description
`EBBINGHAUS_DB`	`./memory_db.json`	Path to the JSON database
`EBBINGHAUS_ARCHIVE`	`./MEMORY.md`	File to append archived memories

Core Concept

Strength formula: strength = e^(-days_elapsed / stability)

Status	Strength	Meaning
🟢 Active	≥ 0.7	Recently used, clear memory
🟡 Decaying	0.3–0.7	Not used for a while
🔴 Fading	< 0.3	Needs review or cleanup

Stability: starts at 1.0, multiplied by 1.5 on each review (the more you review, the slower it fades).

Commands

# View all memory items and their current strength
python3 scripts/ebbinghaus.py status

# Recalculate all strength values (run daily)
python3 scripts/ebbinghaus.py decay

# Add a new memory item
python3 scripts/ebbinghaus.py add "content description" --category <cat> --source <origin>

# Review and reinforce (resets strength to 1.0, stability ×1.5)
python3 scripts/ebbinghaus.py review <id>

# Delete a memory item
python3 scripts/ebbinghaus.py forget <id>

# Archive to MEMORY.md (removes from active list, appends to archive file)
python3 scripts/ebbinghaus.py archive <id>

# Heartbeat mode — print items needing attention
python3 scripts/ebbinghaus.py heartbeat

Heartbeat Integration

Add to your heartbeat config:

- Memory decay check: python3 /path/to/scripts/ebbinghaus.py heartbeat

Heartbeat output rules:

🔴 items exist → alert user, ask "review or forget?"
Only 🟡 items → log silently, no interruption
All 🟢 → output HEARTBEAT_OK

category	Meaning
`project`	Project/task completion
`tech`	Technical findings/solutions
`person`	Memory about someone
`event`	Important events
`general`	Other

Typical Workflows

"Clean up old memories":

Run decay then status
List 🔴 items, ask user: review / forget / archive?
Execute chosen action

"Remember this: XXX":

Run add "XXX"
Confirm added

"Which memories are fading?":

Run decay to update strengths
Run status, highlight 🔴 items
