# Memory Defrag

Clean out memory files that have grown out of hand

## What this does

Memory files grow, repeat themselves and hold onto things that are no longer true, until they are more clutter than help. This splits the bloated ones, merges the duplicates, strips the stale bits and rearranges the structure. Run it when the files feel unwieldy, or on a regular schedule.

### Top 3 things it does for you

- Split a file that has gotten too big
- Merge files that repeat each other
- Clear out information that is no longer true

## About Memory Defrag

Defragments and reorganizes agent memory files. It splits bloated files, merges duplicates, removes stale information and restructures the memory hierarchy.

Use it when memory files have grown unwieldy, contain redundancies or simply need reorganizing. It suits a periodic run as much as an on-demand one.
