status - SKILL.md Agent Skill

name: status description: Diagnoses Mem0 connectivity, API key validity, and memory read/write functionality. Use when memory operations fail, searches return empty, or to verify the plugin is working correctly.

Health Check / Status

Run a diagnostic check on the Mem0 plugin. Useful for troubleshooting.

Execution

Run ALL checks, then display a single summary. Do not stop on the first failure.

Check 1: API key

Verify the API key is configured. The plugin loads it from MEM0_API_KEY env var or ~/.pi/agent/mem0-config.json.

If not set: FAIL — "No API key configured"
If set: PASS — show first 6 chars followed by ...

Check 2: Identity resolution

Report the resolved identity:

user_id: from config, env, or system user
project_id: auto-detected from current directory
session_id: current session identifier

PASS if user_id and project_id are non-empty. WARN if any falls back to defaults.

Check 3: Connectivity

Use mem0_memory tool with action="search", query="health check".

If returns successfully (even empty): PASS
If errors: FAIL — show the error message

Check 4: Memory write capability

Use mem0_memory tool with action="add", content="Health check probe — safe to delete.".

If succeeds: PASS — then clean up by deleting the probe memory.
If errors: FAIL — show the error.

Display

PASS  Identity         user=kartik, project=my-app, session=abc123
PASS  Connectivity     142ms
PASS  Write/Read       write + delete OK

All checks passed.

If any check fails, add a ## Troubleshooting section with specific fix steps.

Extended mode: Memory Quality Analysis

When invoked with --deep (e.g., /mem0-status --deep), run the standard checks above plus a memory quality scan.

Quality Check 1: Duplicates

Fetch all memories with mem0_memory action="get_all". Compare pairs within the same category for high textual overlap (shared nouns > 60%). Report:

Potential duplicates: <N> pairs
  [mem0:<id1>] ~ [mem0:<id2>] — both about "<shared topic>"

Quality Check 2: Stale memories

Flag memories older than 180 days that haven't been accessed recently.

Quality Check 3: Contradictions

Within each category, flag pairs that assert opposing facts.

Quality summary

## Memory Quality

Duplicates: <N> · Stale: <N> · Contradictions: <N>

If all counts are 0: Memory quality: clean. If any non-zero: append Run /mem0-dream to fix.
