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 withmemory_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.
