Memory Workflow

Manage the Plugged.in memory session lifecycle.

Session Lifecycle

1. Start Session: Call pluggedin_memory_session_start at the beginning of work
2. Observe: During work, call pluggedin_memory_observe to record:
   • tool_call / tool_result: Tool usage and outcomes
   • user_preference: Explicit user preferences
   • error_pattern: Errors and their resolutions
   • success_pattern: What worked well
   • decision: Key decisions made
   • insight: Conclusions worth remembering
3. Search: Use pluggedin_memory_search to find relevant past memories (returns lightweight summaries)
4. Details: Use pluggedin_memory_details for full content of specific memories
5. End Session: Call pluggedin_memory_session_end to generate a Z-report

Arguments

• $ARGUMENTS = "start": Start a new memory session
• $ARGUMENTS = "end": End the current session with Z-report
• $ARGUMENTS = "status": Show current session status

What to Observe

Record observations for anything that would be useful in future sessions:

• Error patterns and their solutions
• User preferences about workflow, tools, or coding style
• Successful approaches to recurring problems
• Key architectural decisions and their rationale
• Tool configurations that worked

Progressive Disclosure

Memory search uses a 3-layer system for token efficiency:

1. Search (Layer 1): Returns summaries (50-150 tokens each)
2. Timeline (Layer 2): Adds temporal context
3. Details (Layer 3): Returns full content

Always start with search. Only request details for memories you actually need.
