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:

  1. If no patterns provided, ask for patterns (space-separated, glob supported: *, ?, [...]).
  2. Ask scope via AskUserQuestion:
    Which scope?
    - Global: applies to all projects (~/.memory/.ignore)
    - Project: applies only to this project
    
  3. Run:
    bash "<plugin_scripts_path>/ignore-topic.sh" add "<scope>" <pattern1> [pattern2 ...]
    
    <scope>: global or the project dir path from SessionStart context.

remove:

  1. If no pattern provided, ask which pattern to remove.
  2. Ask scope (global or project).
  3. Run:
    bash "<plugin_scripts_path>/ignore-topic.sh" remove "<scope>" "<pattern>"
    

list:

bash "<plugin_scripts_path>/ignore-topic.sh" list "<project_dir>"

Path resolution

  • <plugin_scripts_path>: from SessionStart injection Plugin scripts path: ...
  • <project_dir>: from SessionStart injection Your persistent memory is stored at <project_dir>
