SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Records important context to brain memory for cross-session continuity. The kernel auto-records external_discovery and decision_made events; invoke manually for anything else worth preserving.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Auto-recording of external_discovery and decision_made events by the kernel
  • Manual invocation to capture additional discoveries with clear goal, actions, and outcomes
  • Supports storing architectural decisions, API quirks, business constraints, and workarounds for future sessions

Quick Start

Invoke mcp__brain__memory_write_episode with a goal, actions, and outcome to store a context for cross-session continuity.

FAQPage Schema
How do I preserve context across sessions for architectural decisions and API quirks?

To preserve context across sessions, record important discoveries to brain memory using the kernel's auto-recording for external discoveries and decisions, or manually invoke the memory write episode function with a goal, actions, and outcome.

What is cross-session context tracking and when do I need it?

Cross-session context tracking stores important findings like API quirks and business constraints so they persist beyond a single session. You need it when workarounds or architectural decisions must remain accessible for future development continuity.

How do I manually record a workaround or business constraint to brain memory?

To manually record a workaround or business constraint, invoke the memory write episode function with a clear goal, the actions taken, and the resulting outcome to store the context for cross-session continuity.

Does the kernel automatically record external discoveries and decision events?

The kernel automatically records external discovery and decision made events to brain memory. You only need to manually invoke the recording function for additional context worth preserving that the kernel does not capture automatically.

Can I use brain memory to store API quirks without losing them between sessions?

Yes, you can store API quirks for cross-session continuity by recording them to brain memory. The kernel captures external discoveries automatically, or you can manually write an episode with the specific quirk details.

What are the limitations of relying on brain memory for context tracking?

Brain memory context tracking relies on the kernel auto-recording external discovery and decision events, meaning any additional context not triggering these events requires manual invocation to avoid being lost between sessions.
