memory

Structure

• memory/MEMORY.md -- Long-term facts (preferences, project context, relationships). Always loaded into your context.
• memory/HISTORY.md -- Append-only event log. NOT loaded into context. Search it with memory_search.

Search Past Events

Use memory_search to find information across both memory files:

memory_search(query="keyword")

Returns matching lines with surrounding context, indicating which file each match came from.

Read Memory Files

Use memory_read to read a full memory file:

memory_read(file="memory")
memory_read(file="history")
memory_read(file="history", max_lines=50)

Use max_lines to read only the most recent entries from HISTORY.md.

When to Update MEMORY.md

Write important facts immediately using memory_save:

• User preferences ("I prefer dark mode")
• Project context ("The API uses OAuth2")
• Relationships ("Alice is the project lead")

Auto-consolidation

Old conversations are automatically summarized and appended to HISTORY.md when the session grows large. Long-term facts are extracted to MEMORY.md. You don't need to manage this.
