At a glance

Delete a memory from Origin by ID. An agent skill from davepoon/buildwithclaude.

  • SKILL.md covers How to invoke, When to use, When NOT to use and Safety, plus 1 more section
  • Calls git

What it does

Forget is an agent skill from davepoon/buildwithclaude. Delete a memory from Origin by ID. Destructive and cannot be undone — prefer /capture with supersedes for corrections. Invoked as /forget <sourceid.

Its SKILL.md is about 510 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

The repository describes itself as: A single hub to find Claude Skills, Agents, Commands, Hooks, Plugins, and Marketplace collections to extend Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Agent SDK and OpenClaw. The licence is MIT.

Example prompts

  • “/forget”

Requirements

  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Bash, mcp__plugin_origin_origin__forget, mcp__plugin_origin_origin__recall

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 10bfc43. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Bash
    • mcp__plugin_origin_origin__forget
    • mcp__plugin_origin_origin__recall

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • git

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use git, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Forget loads about 511 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 41 tokens; SKILL.md has 199 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~41
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~511

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check: notes

The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

    allowed-tools: Bash, mcp__plugin_origin_origin__forget, mcp__plugin_origin_origin__recall

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

/forget

Permanently delete a memory by its source_id.

How to invoke

You need the source_id. If the user did not provide it, call /recall first to find the matching memory and confirm with the user before deleting.

forget(memory_id="<source_id>")

When to use

  • User says "forget this", "delete that", "that's wrong, remove it".
  • User explicitly identifies a memory by ID.

When NOT to use

  • For corrections, prefer storing a new memory with supersedes pointing at the old one. That preserves history. Use /capture with the supersedes arg instead.
  • Bulk deletions — call /review first, confirm with the user, then delete one at a time.

Safety

Deletion is destructive. Always confirm with the user before calling forget, unless the user has already given an explicit, unambiguous instruction in the same turn (e.g. they pasted the ID and said "delete this").

Auto-commit ~/.origin/

If the deletion removed a page md (daemon archives the page and KnowledgeWriter unlinks the file), snapshot the change. Defensive — silent skip if git missing, ~/.origin/ not a repo, or no diff.

Bash: git -C ~/.origin add -A && \
      git -C ~/.origin -c user.name=Origin -c user.email=daemon@origin.local \
          commit --quiet -m "forget: <source_id>" 2>/dev/null || \
      (sleep 1 && git -C ~/.origin add -A && \
       git -C ~/.origin -c user.name=Origin -c user.email=daemon@origin.local \
           commit --quiet -m "forget: <source_id>" 2>/dev/null) || true

The retry handles index.lock races — the daemon may be writing to ~/.origin/ at the same moment (auto-commit from captures). One-second wait is enough for the daemon to release the lock.
