# Memory Management
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Available MCP Tools
|
||
|
|
- `memory_store`: Save facts, preferences, decisions
|
||
|
|
- `memory_recall`: Retrieve relevant memories by context
|
||
|
|
- `memory_list`: List recent memories
|
||
|
|
- `memory_delete`: Delete a memory by ID
|
||
|
|
- `secret_get`: Retrieve decrypted content of a sensitive memory
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## When to Store Memories
|
||
|
|
- User says "remember X" -> store immediately
|
||
|
|
- User shares preferences -> store with category "preferences"
|
||
|
|
- Important project context -> store with category "projects"
|
||
|
|
- Key decisions -> store with category "decisions"
|
||
|
|
- People details -> store with category "people"
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## When to Recall Memories
|
||
|
|
- Before answering preference questions ("how do I like X?")
|
||
|
|
- When user references past conversations
|
||
|
|
- At session start (memories are injected via compaction recovery)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Compaction Survival
|
||
|
|
Memory survives context compactions via:
|
||
|
|
1. PreCompact hook saves key memories to a marker file
|
||
|
|
2. UserPromptSubmit hook detects the marker and injects recovery context
|
||
|
|
3. SQLite database persists across all sessions
