User Override Commands for Memory Hooks

Features

Manual Control Over Automatic Memory Triggers

New #skip and #remember commands give users direct control over automatic memory operations:

• #skip - Bypasses memory retrieval in session-start hook

  • Use when starting fresh conversation without historical context
  • Example: "#skip let's start fresh on this new feature"

• #remember - Forces memory operations, bypassing normal thresholds

  • Mid-conversation: Forces analysis (bypasses cooldown timer)
  • Session-end: Forces consolidation (bypasses 100-character threshold)
  • Example: "#remember this is important design decision"

Implementation

• Shared Detection Module (~/.claude/hooks/utilities/user-override-detector.js)

  • Ensures consistent behavior across all hooks
  • Applied to: session-start.js, mid-conversation.js, session-end.js

• Configuration Update (config.json)

  • New applyTo array defines which hooks are active
  • Enables granular control of hook activation

Documentation

• README.md - New "User Overrides" section with usage examples
• README-AUTO-CAPTURE.md - Comprehensive supported hooks reference table

Use Cases

1. Fresh Start: Skip retrieval when context from previous sessions isn't relevant
2. Important Insights: Force mid-session capture of critical information
3. Short Sessions: Override character thresholds for brief but valuable sessions
