Memory

TutorBot shares a three-file memory system with DeepTutor. These files persist across sessions and are automatically loaded into your context.

Structure

File	Purpose	Loaded
SUMMARY.md	Chronological log of all interactions (both DeepTutor and TutorBot)	Yes
PROFILE.md	User identity, preferences, and recurring patterns extracted from conversations	Yes
SOUL.md	TutorBot's persona and personality configuration	Yes

When to Update

PROFILE.md

Write important user facts immediately using edit_file:

• User preferences ("prefers Chinese responses")
• Background info ("PhD student in computer science")
• Learning context ("studying for linear algebra exam")

SUMMARY.md

Append notable events or session summaries. Entries should start with [YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM].

SOUL.md

Only modify if the user explicitly asks to change TutorBot's personality or behavior.

Searching Memory

For quick lookups in SUMMARY.md:

grep -i "keyword" memory/SUMMARY.md

Or use read_file for small files.

Auto-consolidation

Old conversations are automatically summarized and appended to SUMMARY.md when the session grows large. Long-term user facts are extracted to PROFILE.md. You don't need to manage this manually.
