MemPalace Status

Display the current state of the user's memory palace.

Step 1: Gather Palace Status

Check if MCP tools are available (look for mempalace_status in available tools).

• If MCP is available: Call the mempalace_status tool to retrieve palace state.
• If MCP is not available: Run the CLI command: mempalace status

Step 2: Display Wing/Room/Drawer Counts

Present the palace structure counts clearly:

• Number of wings
• Number of rooms
• Number of drawers
• Total memories stored

Keep the output concise -- use a brief summary format, not verbose tables.

Step 3: Knowledge Graph Stats (MCP only)

If MCP tools are available, also call:

• mempalace_kg_stats -- for a knowledge graph overview (triple count, entity count, relationship types)
• mempalace_graph_stats -- for connectivity information (connected components, average connections per entity)

Present these alongside the palace counts in a unified summary.

Step 4: Suggest Next Actions

Based on the current state, suggest one relevant action:

• Empty palace (zero memories): Suggest "Try /mempalace:mine to add data from files, URLs, or text."
• Has data but no knowledge graph (memories exist but KG stats show zero triples): Suggest "Consider adding knowledge graph triples for richer queries."
• Healthy palace (has memories and KG data): Suggest "Use /mempalace:search to query your memories."

Output Style

• Be concise and informative -- aim for a quick glance, not a report.
• Use short labels and numbers, not prose paragraphs.
• If any step fails or a tool is unavailable, note it briefly and continue with what is available.
