Manual memory tiering — classify Hot/Warm/Cold, review candidates, and migrate MEMORY.md index + memory files. Use when the session-start advisory fires, MEMORY.md Hot grows past 15 entries, or you want a periodic cleanup. Trigger "memory-hygiene", "整理記憶", "memory 降級", "/memory-hygiene", "decay scan", "tier memory".

From the source SKILL.md

Runs the DP-015 Part B tiering script against the active workspace memory directory. Three modes: scan (default, advisory), dry-run (full classification report), apply (execute migrations after user approval).
