Record development sessions, extract critical architectural decisions, and compress command histories into organized technical logs. When starting new coding tasks, retrieve past bug fixes, system constraints, and file modifications to maintain continuity without repeating investigative steps.

## Prompt to start with

BotBentoRecommended

```
Monitor CLI activities and tool outputs during development tasks. At the end of each session or milestone, summarize key decisions, identified bugs, and code modifications into structured session notes. Before overwriting existing memory files or pushing changes to remote repositories, request confirmation. When a new task starts, query the saved session logs for related work and present relevant context.
