🧠 Memory Behavior

Story Memory

Tracks your development journey:

Project Goals: What you're building
Milestones: Key achievements
Challenges: Problems encountered and solutions
Learnings: Insights gained from experience
Timeline: Chronological project events

Chat History

100 Messages: Recent conversation storage
Semantic Search: Find past conversations by content
Token Tracking: Optimize API usage
Context Preservation: Maintain conversation flow

Workspace Memory

50 Recent Changes: File modification tracking
Dependency Monitoring: Package.json changes
Git Awareness: Branch, remote, status tracking
Project Structure: Directory layout understanding

Usage Example:

# Session 1: Set context
"I want to build a microservices platform"
/create node api-gateway

# Session 2 (days later): Context maintained
/analyze src/  # Remembers your microservices goal
/test src/gateway.js
