How Memory Works

Memory-Only Storage

All data exists only during the current chat session
Nothing saved to disk - no files created
Data is lost when the session ends
Fast performance with no file system dependencies

Session Continuity

During a session: All tools share the same data and current project context
Between sessions: Use generate_handoff_summary before ending, save as markdown, reference in new sessions
For permanent storage: Create your own markdown files for important information

Tools

Project Management

create_project - Create new project (becomes current)
set_current_project - Switch between projects
get_project_status - View project and task summary

Task Management

create_task - Add task to current project
update_task - Update progress, completion, notes

Memory System

remember_this - Store important information
recall_context - Search stored memories

Session Management

generate_handoff_summary - Create transition summary (responds to 'handoff' trigger)

Storage Details

Memory-Only Storage

All data stored in memory during the session
No files or directories created
Data automatically cleared when session ends
No setup or cleanup required

For Permanent Storage

Create your own markdown files for important information
Use generate_handoff_summary to create session summaries
Save summaries as markdown files for future reference

    "memory-pickle": {
