[BUG] /memory references /dream command that doesn't exist
Description
The /memory built-in command presents an "auto dream" option and instructs users to run /dream to trigger a manual dream (memory consolidation) session. However, /dream is not implemented — it's not recognized as either a built-in command or a skill.
Steps to Reproduce
- Run
/memoryin Claude Code - Note the reference to "auto dream" and the instruction to use
/dream - Run
/dream - Observe:
Unknown skill: dream
Expected Behavior
Either /dream should exist as a built-in command that triggers memory consolidation (reviewing recent conversation history and distilling insights into durable memory records), or /memory should not reference it.
Context
The auto-dream mechanism does appear to work — I observed it reorganize and consolidate memory files during a session. The issue is specifically that there's no manual trigger via /dream as the /memory UI implies.
A custom skill can't replicate this because it runs in a fresh conversation with no access to prior conversation history. The value of dreaming is extracting implicit knowledge from past conversations into explicit memory — a custom command would only be able to reorganize existing memory files.
Environment
- Claude Code CLI
- macOS
