Memory

Read and write persistent memory entries via the CLI. Memory is organized by layer:

• operating -- behavioral guidelines, preferences, communication style
• knowledge -- facts about people, projects, systems, decisions

Write Memory

$KANDEV_CLI kandev memory set --layer knowledge --key "people-alice" \
  --content "Alice is the frontend lead. Prefers TypeScript, reviews PRs quickly."

Read Memory

# List all memory entries
$KANDEV_CLI kandev memory get

# List by layer
$KANDEV_CLI kandev memory get --layer knowledge

# Get specific entry
$KANDEV_CLI kandev memory get --layer knowledge --key "people-alice"

Guidelines

• Use operating for persistent behavioral instructions (communication style, workflow preferences).
• Use knowledge for learned facts that should persist across sessions.
• Keep keys descriptive and hyphenated (e.g., people-alice, project-api-migration).
• Memory entries are markdown files on disk and can be edited by the user directly.
