# memories

```sh
clanka memories <soul>
```

Prints the companion's mood, the soul sections it wrote, its open threads
and every memory. Each memory has a `#` number, which
[`clanka doctor delete`](/cli/doctor/#delete) and
[`clanka doctor reinterpret`](/cli/doctor/#reinterpret) take.

It only reads the memory, so it is safe while a host has the companion open.
A companion that was never opened gets its empty database first.

Use it to check what a persona keeps from a conversation.

## Arguments

### `<soul>`

The companion's `soul.md`, as printed by `clanka init`.

```sh
clanka memories ~/.config/clanka/souls/<id>.md
```
