File Structure

memory/
  organization/              # Org-wide knowledge
    api-patterns.md          # Common API patterns, conventions
    data-model.md            # Key data model facts
    ...
  resources/<resourceId>/    # Resource-specific knowledge
    schema-notes.md          # Schema details, column meanings
    query-patterns.md        # Common query patterns
    ...

When to Use

Check memory at the start of a session or when working with resources to see if previous sessions recorded useful context (schema details, API patterns, conventions).

Examples

View all memory files:

memory_view(path: "memory/")

View resource-specific files:

memory_view(path: "memory/resources/abc-123-def/")

Search for relevant knowledge:

memory_grep(pattern: "users table", file_glob: "memory/organization/**/*.md")
