#Use the right context layer

MEMORY.md holds selected durable facts rather than every detail from every conversation.

Current conversationKeeps the requests, responses, and working context for the chat you are in.
MEMORY.mdKeeps selected facts and preferences that should help across future workspaces.
Past conversationsLets the agent find relevant earlier work when the current task needs historical context.
Visible activityProvides evidence about tool activity, including tool inputs and outputs shown in the product.

#Review memory before relying on it

  1. 01

    Keep task context in the conversation

    Use the current conversation for temporary requirements, drafts, and corrections specific to this unit of work.

  2. 02

    Curate durable facts

    Ask the agent to update MEMORY.md only when the fact should help across future workspaces.

  3. 03

    Find earlier work

    Ask the agent to search past conversations when a prior decision or result is relevant.

  4. 04

    Inspect evidence

    Review the cited conversation, document, or visible tool activity before relying on an important recovered fact.

#Correct stale or inappropriate context

Correct the current conversation when the issue applies only to this work. Update or remove the entry in MEMORY.md when the incorrect fact could affect future workspaces. When a retrieved past conversation is no longer authoritative, tell the agent which newer source should take precedence.

Review and correct durable memory when a retained fact is incomplete, stale, or no longer appropriate.
