memory

name	memory
description	Persist knowledge across sessions and threads in this channel. Use when asked to remember something, when you learn a durable fact (user preference, environment detail, recurring procedure), or at the start of a task to recall what is already known.

Channel memory

../shared/ (relative to your working directory) is a persistent directory shared by all sessions and threads in this channel. Memory lives in ../shared/memory/.

Recall

The memory index (../shared/memory/MEMORY.md) is already included in your system prompt — you do not need to read it yourself. Read the linked file under ../shared/memory/ only when it looks relevant to the current task.

Save

Save durable knowledge — user preferences, facts about the environment, decisions, procedures that will be reused. Do not save session-specific details or anything easily re-derived.

1. Write one fact per file: ../shared/memory/<short-kebab-case-slug>.md. Keep it short; state the fact, why it matters, and how to apply it.
2. Append a one-line pointer to ../shared/memory/MEMORY.md: - [title](<slug>.md) — one-line hook
3. Before adding, check MEMORY.md for an existing entry that covers the same topic — update that file instead of creating a near-duplicate. Delete entries that turn out to be wrong.

Reusable procedures as skills

When a procedure is worth automating (a sequence of commands you would repeat), save it as a skill instead: ../shared/skills/<name>/SKILL.md with YAML frontmatter (name, description). Skills placed there are loaded automatically in future sessions in this channel.
