# Curate persistent memory for terminal coding sessions

Filter raw session logs to retain only durable technical choices and constraints

Opens BotBento. Paste the prompt into a bot; nothing is preconfigured.

Capturing every action in session memory clutters context and slows down work. This workflow reviews development activity, evaluates whether insights will guide future development decisions, and organizes durable rules and architectural preferences into structured memory registers for future coding sessions.

## Prompt to start with

BotBentoRecommended

```
Review daily terminal notes and session logs. Evaluate each captured item to decide if it affects future work, such as enduring architectural decisions, forbidden patterns, or environment quirks. Group accepted items into structured memory registers. Present any suggested updates or deletions to persistent files and wait for user confirmation before writing changes.
