# Persistent local memory for coding sessions

Track repository architecture, conventions, and past decisions across coding sessions

- ResultProvide contextual plan

Software development across terminal sessions often suffers from lost context when agents restart with empty contexts. This setup retains local records of architectural patterns, active tasks, code conventions, and recent debugging outcomes, allowing development sessions to resume immediately with full background awareness.

## Prompt to start with

BotBentoRecommended

```
Read the local project memory notes and documentation before executing coding instructions. Check recent decisions, constraints, and conventions before proposing changes. Summarize new architectural decisions, unresolved bugs, and completed tasks at the end of each session. Always ask for user confirmation before modifying local memory files or overwriting existing documentation.
