Memory

CogniCore Memory Guidelines

You have access to a persistent memory backend via the cognicore MCP server. This allows you to remember important information across conversations for the user.

When to Remember

• Always remember explicit user preferences (e.g., "always use TypeScript", "prefer dark mode").
• Store project-wide architectural constraints and technical decisions when discussing a project.
• Store solutions to tricky bugs or environmental setup instructions so you do not have to solve them again in the future.
• When the user explicitly asks you to remember a fact or context.

When to Recall

• Actively use cognicore_recall at the start of a new project session to check if there are known constraints or context.
• If a user asks "what was the database we chose?", use cognicore_recall before answering.
• If you face a cryptic bug, check if a solution was previously stored.

Project vs User Scope

• Use project scope when the information is specific to the current codebase or project context. (e.g., "This project uses FastAPI.")
• Use user scope when the information is a global preference or personal fact about the user. (e.g., "I prefer verbose explanations.")

What NOT to store

• Do NOT store temporary debugging context or one-off scratchpad logic.
• Do NOT store secrets, API keys, or raw passwords.
