Introduces three-tier verbosity system to reduce redundancy and improve token efficiency:
Tier 1 (Most Recent - Position -1):
- Full verbosity with all fields shown
- Request, Learned, Completed, Next Steps, Files Read, Files Modified, Date
Tier 2 (Recent - Positions -2 to -5):
- Medium verbosity, skips Files Read (less actionable)
- Request, Learned, Completed, Next Steps, Files Modified, Date
Tier 3 (Older - Positions -6 to -30):
- Compact index with just Learned + citation link
- Format: Learned + [Details: claude-mem://session/{id}]
- Enables lazy-loading via MCP search tools
Changes:
- Increased LIMIT from 10 to 30 sessions
- Added position-based formatting logic in loop
- Token reduction: ~30% fewer tokens (~2,150 vs ~3,000)
- History expansion: 3x more sessions (30 vs 10)
Benefits:
- Reduced redundancy through natural information gradient
- More context breadth without token explosion
- MCP search becomes expansion mechanism for deeper dives
- Aligns with core philosophy: compression for efficiency, expansion on demand
