modbender Memory Manager
Intelligent session-end memory management. Automatically captures important infrastructure, project, and tool changes while filtering out noise.
When This Skill Triggers
Run at session end when the conversation included:
- Infrastructure: server, deploy, service, systemd, nginx, docker, database
- Projects: repository, github, feature, cron, API endpoint
- Tools: integration, credential, API key, configuration
What Gets Saved
Daily Log (ALWAYS)
File: memory/YYYY-MM-DD.md
Save:
- New/changed services or servers
- Project deployments or major features
- Cron job updates
- Infrastructure fixes or migrations
- Important bugs and their solutions
- Configuration changes
Skip:
- Chat conversation
- Debugging steps (unless they reveal important lessons)
- Temporary tests
- Minor code tweaks
MEMORY.md (ONLY structural changes)
Save:
- New projects (with basic info)
- Changed workflows or architecture
- Important design decisions
- Deprecated/archived systems
Skip:
- Routine updates
- Temporary changes
- Details already in daily logs
TOOLS.md (ONLY new tools/credentials)
Save:
- New API keys or credentials
- New servers (IP, SSH, purpose)
- New integrations
PROJECTS.md (Project lifecycle changes)
See references/projects-guide.md for full schema.
Save:
- New projects started
- Status changes (Prototype → Production, Active → Archived)
- Major tech stack changes
- URL or deployment location changes
Process
- Scan session for infrastructure/project/tool keywords
- Filter using criteria above
- Write daily log with timestamp + structured summary
- Update MEMORY.md only if structural change
- Update TOOLS.md only if new credential/server/integration
- Update PROJECTS.md only if project lifecycle change
Daily Log Format
## HH:MM UTC — Brief Title
**What happened:** 1-2 sentence summary
**Changes:**
- Service X deployed to server Y
- Cron job Z updated with new logic
- Project A: feature B shipped
**Impact:** (only if significant)
- Performance improved 2x
- Fixed critical bug affecting users
MEMORY.md Update Guidance
Only add if it's something you need to remember long-term across sessions:
- New permanent services
- Architectural decisions
- Deprecated patterns
Keep entries under 5 lines. Details go in daily logs.
