Read Memory

Read entries from the memory persistence system.

Procedure

1. Attempt to read memory.md from the current working directory using the Read tool

2. If memory.md does not exist:

   • Stop execution
   • Inform the user: "Memory has not been initialized. Use the create-memory skill first to set up the memory system."
   • Do NOT attempt to create the file

3. If memory.md exists:

   • Parse the file for memory entries (lines matching - **key**: value format)
   • If the user asked for a specific key, find and return that value
   • If the user asked for all memory, list all key-value pairs
   • If no entries exist, inform the user that memory is empty

Output Format

When displaying memory entries:

## Current Memory

- **key1**: value1
- **key2**: value2

Or for a specific key lookup:

**key**: value

If key not found:

Key "requested_key" not found in memory.
