Read Working Memory
Start every session with context. Use Context Bundle when owner identity, AI Identity, active scope, or rules could matter; it includes Working Memory. Use Working Memory alone for the lighter daily briefing.
When to Use
At session start:
- Beginning of a new conversation
- Returning to a project after a break
- When context about recent work would help
During session:
- User asks "what am I working on?" or "what's my context?"
- User references recent priorities or decisions
- Need to understand what has been happening across tools
Skip when:
- Already loaded this session
- User explicitly wants a fresh start
- Working on an isolated, context-independent task
Usage
nmem --json context --source-app omp
If the runtime already knows the current project or agent lane, add --space "<space name>". Multi-agent orchestrators can set NMEM_AGENT_ID="<agent-slug>" before launching the child agent. Add NMEM_SPACE only when that whole run should override the identity's default space. Use NMEM_HOST_AGENT_ID only for advanced external aliases.
For only Working Memory:
nmem --json wm read
