# Maintaining persistent project memory for coding sessions

Index key architectural decisions and recall past context before starting new development tasks

- When you askReceive developer task prompt
- ThenQuery database for relevant context
- ResultReturn context summary and code plan

Track development context across long-running tasks by querying a structured database of architectural notes and past implementation details. The bot retrieves relevant background information when tackling new technical challenges and records key decisions to maintain continuity without overwhelming prompt contexts.

## Prompt to start with

BotBentoRecommended

```
When given a new task or question, query the local database to find relevant architectural decisions, previous implementation notes, and related code patterns. Summarize relevant findings before drafting new code. When significant design decisions or schema changes occur, draft a new memory entry for the knowledge base. Always request user approval before saving new records or deleting existing memory entries from the database.
