Productivity Memory

Two-tier memory system that makes the AI a true workplace collaborator. Decodes shorthand, acronyms, nicknames, and internal language so the AI understands requests like a colleague would. Uses CONTEXT.md for working memory and a memory/ directory for the full knowledge base. Use when this capability is needed.

Memory Management

Memory makes the AI your workplace collaborator - someone who speaks your internal language.

The Goal

Transform shorthand into understanding:

User: "ask todd to do the PSR for oracle"
              ↓ AI Decodes
"Ask Todd Martinez (Finance lead) to prepare the Pipeline Status Report
 for the Oracle Systems deal ($2.3M, closing Q2)"

Without memory, that request is meaningless. With memory, the AI knows:

todd → Todd Martinez, Finance lead, prefers Slack
PSR → Pipeline Status Report (weekly sales doc)
oracle → Oracle Systems deal, not the company

Architecture

CONTEXT.md           ← Hot cache (~30 people, common terms)
memory/
  glossary.md      ← Full decoder ring (everything)
  people/          ← Complete profiles
  projects/        ← Project details
  context/         ← Company, teams, tools

CONTEXT.md (Hot Cache):

Top ~30 people you interact with most
~30 most common acronyms/terms
Active projects (5-15)
Your preferences
Goal: Cover 90% of daily decoding needs

memory/glossary.md (Full Glossary):

Complete decoder ring - everyone, every term
Searched when something isn't in CONTEXT.md
Can grow indefinitely

memory/people/, projects/, context/:

Rich detail when needed for execution
Full profiles, history, context

Lookup Flow

User: "ask todd about the PSR for phoenix"

1. Check CONTEXT.md (hot cache)
   → Todd? ✓ Todd Martinez, Finance
   → PSR? ✓ Pipeline Status Report
   → Phoenix? ✓ DB migration project

2. If not found → search memory/glossary.md
   → Full glossary has everyone/everything

3. If still not found → ask user
   → "What does X mean? I'll remember it."

This tiered approach keeps CONTEXT.md lean (~100 lines) while supporting unlimited scale in memory/.

File Locations

Working memory: CONTEXT.md in current working directory
Deep memory: memory/ subdirectory

Working Memory Format (CONTEXT.md)

Use tables for compactness. Target ~50-80 lines total.

# Memory

## Me

[Name], [Role] on [Team]. [One sentence about what I do.]
