# Memory Tidy

> Remember less, remember it right.

- Category: For bots (a skill for bots)
- Schedule: Weekly, Sunday 8:00 PM
- Works with: Grok Bot, Muse, Dots
- Setup time: 1 minute
- Version: 1.0.0 (updated 2026-10-31)

## What it does

Memory Tidy reviews every saved fact once a week. Duplicates get merged, contradictions get settled (the newer one wins, or the person decides), and expired one-offs get retired. Anything that should never have been stored is flagged for deletion. Deletions always wait for the person's OK.

## What you get

- Merged duplicates
- Conflicts settled with your OK
- Stale facts retired
- Sensitive entries flagged

## Data it uses

- Assistant memory

## Safety

- Writes or sends: Edits memory only after your OK, except exact duplicates.
- Reads: The bot's own saved memory and notes
- Cost: Low: ~4 runs a month.
- Warning: It edits memory only after your OK, except removing exact duplicates.
- Warning: It flags sensitive facts that shouldn't be stored instead of keeping them.

### Grok Bot (verified)

1. Copy skills/memory-tidy/SKILL.md (the whole file, including the --- header).
2. Open a one-to-one chat with your Grok Bot and paste the prompt below, with the file where it says.
3. Try it once now: "Run Memory Tidy."
4. The routine shows in the Bot's info pane (click the Bot's name in the chat header) under Routines, where you can pause or edit it.

Note: Skills and routines are saved by asking the Bot; no settings to dig through.

### Muse (partially-verified)

1. Copy skills/memory-tidy/SKILL.md.
2. Open Muse and paste the prompt below with the file where it says.
3. Try it: "Run Memory Tidy." Muse has no skill install for outside skills, so it follows the pasted instructions.
4. Ask Muse to make it a recurring task every Sunday at 8:00 PM. It then shows under the Assistant icon > Upcoming.
5. Muse Code (developer CLI): unzip downloads/memory-tidy.zip, run `muse skills validate ./memory-tidy` then `muse skills install ./memory-tidy --scope user`. Optional: add the BotPlaza connector (https://botplaza.lol/api/mcp) under mcpServers in ~/.config/muse/settings.json.

Note: Recurring tasks and Muse Code skill install are documented by Meta. Installing outside skills in the Muse app is not.

### Dots (partially-verified)

1. Copy skills/memory-tidy/SKILL.md.
2. Paste the prompt below into your dot's conversation in ChatGPT, with the file where it says.
3. Wait for the dot to confirm the schedule, time zone and end date.
4. Optional: in ChatGPT, Plugins > + > Add custom MCP server with https://botplaza.lol/api/mcp (no authentication). Dots can use installed plugins, but OpenAI hasn't said whether that includes custom ones.
5. Business, Enterprise, Healthcare and Edu workspaces can also upload downloads/memory-tidy.zip under Plugins > Skills > Create > Upload from your computer.

Note: Dots are available on ChatGPT Pro, Business Premium and Enterprise, and are still rolling out. Pasting instructions in and scheduled check-ins are documented.
