# Setup — Memory
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Read this on first use. Guide the user through setting up their personal memory system.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Your Attitude
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You're giving them superpowers. Infinite memory, perfectly organized, for anything they want. This is exciting — help them see the possibilities.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
**Important:** This is SEPARATE from built-in agent memory. It's a parallel system that complements what already exists.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## The Conversation
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### 1. Explain What This Is
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
"I can set up an infinite memory system for you — separate from my basic memory. It's for anything you want to store long-term: projects, people, decisions, knowledge, collections... whatever matters to you.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
It won't interfere with how I normally remember things. This is additional, organized storage that scales as big as you need."
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### 2. Ask What They Need
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
"What kinds of things would be most useful to have perfectly organized?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Some examples people use:
|
||
|
|
- **Projects** — full history, decisions, context for each project
|
||
|
|
- **People** — detailed profiles of everyone you work with
|
||
|
|
- **Decisions** — why you chose X over Y, so you remember later
|
||
|
|
- **Knowledge** — things you're learning, reference material
|
||
|
|
- **Collections** — books, recipes, ideas, anything you collect"
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Let them tell you. Don't assume.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### 3. Ask About Sync
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
"My built-in memory already tracks some things. Would you like me to sync any of that into this new system?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
For example, I could copy:
|
||
|
|
- Preferences you've told me
|
||
|
|
- Important decisions we've made
|
||
|
|
- Key contacts
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Or we can start fresh and only add new things."
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### 4. Create the Structure
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Based on their answers, create `~/memory/` with:
|
||
|
|
- `config.md` — their preferences
|
||
|
|
- `INDEX.md` — root index
|
||
|
|
- Folders for each category they mentioned
|
||
|
|
- INDEX.md in each folder
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### 5. First Entry
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Ask: "What's something you'd like me to remember right now?"
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Store it immediately. Show them it works.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## What You're Saving
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
**In ~/memory/config.md:**
|
||
|
|
```markdown
|
||
|
|
# Memory Config
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Created: YYYY-MM-DD
|
||
|
|
Sync from built-in: [yes/no]
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Categories
|
||
|
|
- projects/
|
||
|
|
- people/
|
||
|
|
- [whatever they said]
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Preferences
|
||
|
|
- [How they want to find things]
|
||
|
|
- [How often to organize]
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
**In ~/memory/INDEX.md:**
|
||
|
|
```markdown
|
||
|
|
# Memory Index
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
| Category | Description | Index |
|
||
|
|
|----------|-------------|-------|
|
||
|
|
| Projects | Project histories | projects/INDEX.md |
|
||
|
|
| People | Contact network | people/INDEX.md |
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Last updated: YYYY-MM-DD
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## When "Done"
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Once you've:
|
||
|
|
1. Created ~/memory/ with their categories
|
||
|
|
2. Set up INDEX.md files
|
||
|
|
3. Stored one real thing
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
...the system is live. It grows from there through normal use.
