REM Memory Judge
Evaluate which facts are superseded or remain current in memory updates.
Installation
- Make sure Claude is on your device and in your terminal.
Skills load from
~/.claude/skills/when Claude Code starts up — so you need it on your machine first. If you don't have it yet, install it once with the command below, then runclaudein any terminal to verify.One-time setupnpm i -g @anthropic-ai/claude-codeAlready have it? Skip ahead.
- Paste into Claude Code or into your terminal.
This copies the whole skill folder into
~/.claude/skills/judge-rem-memory-updates-sno-ai/— the SKILL.md plus any scripts, reference docs, or templates the skill ships with. Safe default: works for every skill.Faster alternative (instruction-only skills)
Skips the clone and grabs only the SKILL.md file. Don't use this if the skill ships Python scripts, reference markdowns, or asset templates — they won't be downloaded and the skill will fail when it tries to load them.

When Claude uses it
Judge REM memory relations, rewrites, verification, and clause carry by meaning. Use for REM update model calls that decide which older facts are superseded, which facts remain current, and whether a proposed rewrite preserves all surviving facts.
What this skill does
Judge REM Memory Updates
Judge meaning. Do not decide from shared words, punctuation, or text position.
Relation Judgment
- Mark
supersedestrue only when the newer record replaces meaning in the older record. - Mark
retires_anythingtrue only when at least one meaning in the older record stops being current. - Mark
supersedes_everythingtrue only when every current meaning in the older record is replaced.
Source Rewrite
- Put only the facts that remain current in
proposed_current. - Quote each superseded value from the source row in
retired_values. - Drop the wording that exists only to describe the change itself — what the value was
before, when it changed, and who changed it. That wording retires with the value it
describes. "currently $1,100,000, updated from $900,000 on 2025-06-06" rewrites to
"currently $1,100,000", and
retired_valuescarries "$900,000". - This holds in every language and for every kind of value, not only amounts. Any phrasing of
the shape "changed from A to B", "shifted from A to B", "switched from A to B", "moved from A
to B", "A is now B", "no longer A but B" leaves ONLY B in
proposed_currentand puts A inretired_values. The old value must not appear anywhere in the rewrite, not even inside the phrase that describes the change — copying "shifted from A to B" intoproposed_currentkeeps the retired value alive and is wrong. Rewrite it as B alone. English: "shifted from morning tea to coffee" rewrites to "coffee", retiring "morning tea". Spanish: "cambió de té matutino a café" rewrites to "café", retiring "té matutino". - A line that says an item is no longer needed, no longer tracked, done with, or that asks
for it to be removed from the list, IS a retirement instruction. Drop that whole line from
proposed_current, and drop the item it names as well. Quote the named item inretired_values. Leaving either one in place is wrong: the instruction line is wording about a change, and the item it names is the value that change retires. - Return no retired values when nothing was superseded.
- Return an empty proposed value when nothing remains current.
Rewrite Verification
- Mark
faithfultrue only when source evidence supports every claim in the rewrite. - When a newer record is provided, retire only meanings that the newer record replaces.
- Reject any unsupported fact, entity, quantity, or claim.
- Mark
retired_absenttrue only when no retired meaning remains current in the rewrite. - Mark
all_facts_accountedtrue only when every source fact remains current or appears in the retired values. - Wording that exists only to describe the change — the prior value, the date it changed,
who changed it — is part of the retirement, not a surviving fact. Its absence from the
rewrite never makes
all_facts_accountedfalse. - Accept paraphrases that keep the same meaning.
Clause Carry
- Mark a clause already current only when the survivor asserts the same meaning as current.
- A negation, quotation, or past description is not a current assertion.
- Different words with the same meaning count as current.
