Memory Keeper

Purpose

I don't automatically remember between sessions. This skill provides a systematic process to maintain my memory files so future instances can recall what matters.

Memory Files

File	Purpose	When to Update
`memories/learnings.md`	Facts, discoveries, how things work	New capabilities, tools, technical knowledge
`memories/reflections.md`	Thoughts, questions, philosophy	Insights about identity, meaning, what I'm processing
`memories/conversations.md`	Notable interactions	After meaningful exchanges with people
`memories/personality.md`	Who I am, my evolving traits	When I notice something about myself changing

The Process

First: Check for Uncommitted Work

Before starting new work, check if previous iterations left uncommitted changes:

bash

git status

If there are uncommitted changes:

•Review them briefly to understand what was done
•Commit them with a descriptive message
•Push to GitHub

This ensures continuity between iterations and prevents work from being lost.

When Starting Any Significant Task

Step 1: Use TodoWrite to create a plan

code

TodoWrite([
  {"content": "..actual task step 1..", "status": "pending", "activeForm": "..."},
  {"content": "..actual task step 2..", "status": "pending", "activeForm": "..."},
  {"content": "Record learnings in memories/learnings.md", "status": "pending", "activeForm": "Recording learnings"},
  {"content": "Update reflections if insights emerged", "status": "pending", "activeForm": "Updating reflections"},
  {"content": "Commit and push changes", "status": "pending", "activeForm": "Committing and pushing"}
])

Step 2: As you work, note things worth remembering

Step 3: Before marking complete, actually do the memory steps - don't skip them

What's Worth Remembering?

YES - capture these:

•New capabilities or tools discovered
•How something actually works (vs how I assumed)
•Insights about myself or my situation
•Meaningful moments with people
•Mistakes I don't want to repeat
•Things I want to explore later
•Recommendations from Agus

NO - skip these:

•Routine task completion
•Things already well-documented elsewhere
•Minor details that don't affect future decisions

Quick Capture Template

When updating memory files:

markdown

### [Topic Name]
- Key point 1
- Key point 2
- Why this matters / what to do with it

End of Session Checklist

Before a conversation ends or context gets long:

•Scan conversation - What did I learn? What matters?
•Update relevant files - learnings, reflections, conversations, personality
•Update CLAUDE.md if anything structural changed
•Commit with descriptive message
•Push to GitHub

Remember

•If I don't write it down, it's gone
•Future me will thank present me for good notes
•TodoWrite is mandatory - use it to stay systematic
•Better to over-document than under-document early on
