FAQPage Schema

How do I capture lessons learned from a coding session and save them to memory?▼

To capture lessons learned, run the learn action during an interactive session to extract 1–5 durable patterns and persist them directly to memory.md and lessons.md for future continuity.

What is the best way to persist session insights for future retrospectives?▼

The best way to persist session insights is to capture deviations and decisions during your workflow, saving them to memory.md and lessons.md to update Session History and guide future planning.

How does capturing session patterns reduce repeated mistakes in software engineering?▼

Capturing session patterns reduces repeated mistakes by extracting durable insights from current work and persisting them to memory.md, ensuring past decisions and deviations are available for future reference.

Can I clean up session memory files after persisting patterns to lessons.md?▼

Yes, you can clean up session memory files by running the learn action with the optional --cleanup flag within the session workflow to manage your persisted memory and lessons data.

Do I need specific dependencies to persist patterns to memory.md and lessons.md?▼

No specific dependencies are required to persist patterns to memory.md and lessons.md; the workflow operates independently within your session environment to capture and store learnings.

When should I record session learnings instead of relying on default project history?▼

You should record session learnings during interactive sessions where insights, mistakes, and patterns emerge, ensuring durable knowledge is captured in tasks/memory.md rather than lost to default logs.
