remember

name	remember
description	Curates the current conversation into ByteRover's context tree for future retrieval. Use after important decisions, project discussions, or technical deep-dives.

Remember

Saves meaningful context from the current conversation into ByteRover's long-term memory (.brv/context-tree/). Useful after technical decisions, project planning sessions, debugging sessions, or any conversation worth recalling later.

When to Use

• After discussing a project decision (e.g., "we decided to use X because Y")
• After a technical deep-dive (architecture, debugging session, config changes)
• When Akash asks: "remember this" or "save this"
• Self-invoke after completing a complex multi-step task — ask "Want me to remember this?" before curating

Operations

Curate current conversation context

TIMESTAMP=$(date +%s)
TMPFILE="/tmp/lyra-memory-${TIMESTAMP}.md"

# Write a structured summary of what's worth remembering
cat > "$TMPFILE" << 'SUMMARY'
[SUMMARY_CONTENT]
SUMMARY

brv curate "$TMPFILE"
rm -f "$TMPFILE"

Decision Logic

1. Identify what's worth remembering: decisions made, facts learned, preferences expressed, project context, technical outcomes
2. Skip: greetings, trivial acknowledgments, transient task outputs (e.g., "what's on my shopping list")
3. Write a structured summary covering:
   • What was decided or done (concrete outcome)
   • Why (reasoning, if stated)
   • Key details (commands, file paths, config changes, names)
   • What to remember for next time (carry-forward context)
4. Run brv curate on the temp file
5. Report what was saved in one sentence

Examples

User says: "/remember" Action: Summarize the conversation, write to /tmp/lyra-memory-{ts}.md, run brv curate, clean up Response: "Saved to memory: ByteRover installed on Lyra, Context Tree bootstrapped from MEMORY.md and SOUL.md, /remember skill created."

User says: "remember that we use paise not rupees in Reap Capital" Action: Write a targeted fact-note, curate it Response: "Saved to memory: Reap Capital uses paise (not rupees) for all monetary values."

User says: "save the decisions from this session" Action: Same as /remember — summarize the session's key decisions and curate them Response: One-sentence summary of what was saved.

Error Handling

• brv not found: Run npm install -g byterover-cli to install it
• brv curate fails — no provider: Run brv providers connect byterover then retry
• Curation timeout: The brv daemon may be slow — retry once. If it fails again, tell the user the memory was not saved
• Nothing worth saving: Tell the user "Nothing substantive to remember from this conversation — mostly routine tasks"

Setup

ByteRover CLI is installed at /usr/bin/brv. Provider is connected (ByteRover free tier). Context tree lives at /root/.brv/context-tree/.
