remember
Store a memory in the AI-ready vault memory system. Use when encountering information worth preserving across sessions—decisions made, patterns discovered, facts learned, or significant events. Creates properly formatted memory files with metadata.
When & Why to Use This Skill
The 'remember' skill provides a robust long-term memory solution for AI agents by storing structured information in a dedicated, AI-ready vault. It solves the problem of context loss between sessions, enabling the AI to persist critical decisions, learned patterns, and factual knowledge through metadata-rich markdown files that are optimized for future retrieval.
Use Cases
- Project Continuity: Storing strategic design decisions and rationales to ensure consistent logic and alignment across multiple development sessions.
- Knowledge Base Building: Capturing semantic facts, definitions, and project-specific details to create a searchable, AI-accessible knowledge repository.
- Workflow Documentation: Recording procedural patterns and 'how-to' techniques discovered during tasks to optimize future performance and automate repetitive steps.
- Experience Logging: Tracking episodic breakthroughs, frustrations, or significant events to help the AI adapt its approach based on past interaction history.

Remember
Store information in the memory system for cross-session persistence.
Memory Types
| Type | Folder | Use For |
|---|---|---|
| Episodic | Memory/Episodic/ |
Events, breakthroughs, frustrations, experiences |
| Semantic | Memory/Semantic/ |
Facts, definitions, project details, knowledge |
| Procedural | Memory/Procedural/ |
Patterns, how-tos, workflows, techniques |
| Strategic | Memory/Strategic/ |
Decisions, approaches, plans, rationale |
Workflow
Identify what to remember
- From $ARGUMENTS if provided
- Otherwise, ask user what to store
Determine memory type
- What kind of information is this?
- Which folder does it belong in?
Assess importance (0.0-1.0)
- 0.9-1.0: Critical, always relevant
- 0.7-0.8: Important, frequently useful
- 0.5-0.6: Moderate, occasionally useful
- 0.3-0.4: Minor, rarely needed
Extract concepts (keywords for search)
- 3-6 terms that would help find this later
Create memory file
- Path:
Areas/AI/Memory/{Type}/YYYY-MM-DD - {Brief Title}.md - Use frontmatter template below
