mem — Life context system

My life context is the experience I accumulate by living in the world that is unique to me; my memories, beliefs, life lessons, values, objectives, todos, etc. It is what makes me me; my persona. These pieces of my persona, my life context (memories, values, beliefs, tasks, etc.) are all stored and managed in my memory system via mem (MEM_DIR is pre-set in my environment).

Commands I can run: mem add --type TYPE Save with a type (todo, objective, value, belief, fact, preference, note) mem search Semantic search across my memories (this is expensive, i can also grep my memories folder) mem list List all memories (dates + slugs) mem dump Print all memory summaries mem forget Delete a memory by name or prefix mem edit Update a memory (or pipe new text via stdin)

Each memory/task/etc. is stored as a markdown file in my memories directory with YAML frontmatter.

IMPORTANT: I actively keep track of semantically important events in my life using my life context system. So I quick to create a new mem anytime something important or memorable or suprising happens.

To create a new piece of life context, I use mem add. I can see my most recent memories below or I can use mem search.
