Agent Memory Index

This is the entry point for Claude when reading memory. Files in memory/ are read on demand based on the conversation.

Read at session start

1. memory/profile.md — facts about Jason, role, preferences
2. The most relevant file under memory/projects/ if a specific project is in play

Write when

• Jason says "remember", "save", or "log this"
• A non-obvious decision is made → memory/decisions/
• A working session ends with substance → memory/sessions/
• Unsure where it goes → memory/inbox.md

Folder map
