/remember - Save Session to Memory
Summarize the current work session and save it to persistent memory for future context.
Instructions
When the user invokes /remember, you should:
1. Check for Activity Log
First, check if there's an activity log from this session:
REPO_ROOT=$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel 2>/dev/null || echo "$PWD")
ACTIVITY_FILE="$REPO_ROOT/.simba/search/activity.log"
if [ -f "$ACTIVITY_FILE" ]; then
cat "$ACTIVITY_FILE"
fi
2. Analyze the Session
Review what was accomplished in this conversation:
- What files were read, created, or modified?
- What was the main goal or task?
- What key decisions were made?
- Were there any important patterns or learnings?
3. Generate Summary
Create a concise summary (2-3 sentences) that captures:
- What was done (the main accomplishment)
- Why it matters (the purpose or problem solved)
- Key details (important files, patterns, or decisions)
4. Extract Metadata
Identify:
- Files touched: List of file paths worked on
- Topics: 3-5 keywords for searchability (e.g., "auth, jwt, middleware, security")
- Tools used: Main tools used (Read, Write, Edit, Bash, etc.)
5. Save to Memory
Use the simba.search CLI to save:
# Initialize if needed
uv run python -m simba.search init
# Save session
uv run python -m simba.search add-session \
"YOUR_SUMMARY_HERE" \
'["file1.ts", "file2.ts"]' \
'["Read", "Edit", "Bash"]' \
"topic1, topic2, topic3"
6. Optionally Add Knowledge or Facts
If during the session you learned something important about the codebase that should be remembered:
For code area knowledge:
uv run python -m simba.search add-knowledge \
"src/auth" \
"Authentication module using JWT tokens with refresh token rotation" \
"Tokens expire in 15min, refresh tokens in 7 days"
For project facts:
uv run python -m simba.search add-fact \
"Uses PostgreSQL with Prisma ORM" "architecture"
uv run python -m simba.search add-fact \
"All API routes require authentication except /health" "convention"
7. Clear Activity Log
After saving, clear the activity log:
REPO_ROOT=$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel 2>/dev/null || echo "$PWD")
ACTIVITY_FILE="$REPO_ROOT/.simba/search/activity.log"
[ -f "$ACTIVITY_FILE" ] && rm "$ACTIVITY_FILE"
8. Confirm to User
Report what was saved:
Saved to memory:
- Summary: [your summary]
- Topics: [topics]
- Files: [count] files tracked
Memory now contains [X] sessions. Use /memory-stats to see details.
Example Output
Saved to memory:
- Summary: Implemented JWT authentication with refresh token rotation. Added middleware for protected routes and updated user model with token fields.
- Topics: auth, jwt, middleware, tokens, security
- Files: 4 files tracked
Memory now contains 12 sessions.
Additional Commands
If the user wants to add specific knowledge or facts, they can say:
- "Remember that this project uses X" -> Add as fact
- "Remember how the auth module works" -> Add as knowledge
Ask clarifying questions if the summary scope is unclear.
