name: ignore-topic description: Use when the user wants to ignore, skip, or exclude specific topics from being archived. Triggers on "ignore topic", "don't archive", "skip topic", "stop remembering", "list ignored topics", "remove ignore rule".
ignore-topic
Manage .ignore rules — glob patterns that prevent matching topic slugs from being archived. Topics still get tagged but archival is skipped (no LLM summary call, no file written).
Step 1: Determine operation
Parse the user's message for operation (add/remove/list) and patterns. If clear, skip to Step 2.
Otherwise, ask using AskUserQuestion:
What would you like to do?
- Add: Add ignore patterns (topics matching these will not be archived)
- Remove: Remove an existing ignore pattern
- List: Show all current ignore rules
Step 2: Execute
add:
- If no patterns provided, ask for patterns (space-separated, glob supported:
*,?,[...]). - Ask scope via AskUserQuestion:
Which scope? - Global: applies to all projects (~/.memory/.ignore) - Project: applies only to this project - Run:
bash "<plugin_scripts_path>/ignore-topic.sh" add "<scope>" <pattern1> [pattern2 ...]<scope>:globalor the project dir path from SessionStart context.
remove:
- If no pattern provided, ask which pattern to remove.
- Ask scope (global or project).
- Run:
bash "<plugin_scripts_path>/ignore-topic.sh" remove "<scope>" "<pattern>"
list:
bash "<plugin_scripts_path>/ignore-topic.sh" list "<project_dir>"
