v8.42.0: Memory Awareness Enhancements

on GitHub

🎯 Memory Awareness Enhancements

This release significantly improves the memory awareness system with better visibility, quality controls, and bug fixes.

✨ New Features

👁️ Visible Memory Injection

• Users now see what memories are injected at session start
• Displays top 3 memories with relevance scores, age, and tags
• Formatted with colored output box for clear visibility
• Configurable via ~/.claude/hooks/config.json (showInjectedMemories: true)
• Helps users understand what context the AI assistant is using

🤖 LLM-Powered Session Summarization

• Optional Gemini CLI integration for intelligent session analysis
• New files: llm-session-summarizer.js utility and session-end-llm.js core hook
• Generates meaningful summaries instead of generic boilerplate
• Can be manually invoked for high-quality session consolidation

🔧 Improvements

🎯 Session-End Hook Quality

• Raised quality thresholds to prevent generic boilerplate:
  • minSessionLength: 100 → 200 characters (requires more substantial content)
  • minConfidence: 0.1 → 0.5 (requires 5+ meaningful items vs 1+)
• Database cleanup: removed 167 generic entries (3352 → 3185 memories)
• Prevents low-quality memories like "User asked Claude to review code" from polluting database

⚡ Configuration Improvements

• Enabled relevance scores in context formatting
• Improved memory scoring to prioritize quality over recency for generic content
• Session-end hook re-enabled with improved quality gates
• Better defaults for session analysis

🐛 Bug Fixes

Duplicate MCP Fallback Messages

• Fixed duplicate "MCP Fallback → Using standard MCP tools" log messages
• Added module-level flag to track if fallback message was already logged
• Message now appears once per session instead of once per query
• Improved session start hook output clarity

📊 Impact

• Better UX: Users see what memories are being used
• Cleaner Database: Fewer low-quality memories polluting the system
• Quality Over Quantity: Smarter session summaries when they are created
• Improved Debugging: Clear, non-duplicate log messages
