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 grep.

Search Past Events

grep -i "keyword" memory/HISTORY.md

Use the exec tool to run grep. Combine patterns: grep -iE "meeting|deadline" memory/HISTORY.md

When to Update MEMORY.md

Write important facts immediately using edit_file or write_file:

• 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.
