SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Manage and tune memory usage per session to balance context retention with token efficiency, ensuring memory is used where it adds value and not elsewhere.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Memory level controls: full, light, or off modes to adjust vault loading and auto-logging.
  • Session optimization: reduces token usage while preserving essential memory when needed.
  • Use Case: during long research sessions, enable full memory to capture actions and decisions; during privacy-sensitive sessions, disable memory to minimize data retention.

Quick Start

Set memory level to full to enable full-memory logging for this session.

FAQPage Schema
How do I reduce token usage during a Second Brain memory session?

To reduce token usage during a Second Brain memory session, toggle the memory level to light or off mode. This adjusts vault loading and auto-logging to preserve tokens while minimizing data retention.

What is the best way to disable memory logging for privacy-sensitive tasks?

The best way to disable memory logging for privacy-sensitive tasks is to set the session memory level to off. This prevents auto-logging and minimizes data retention within your Second Brain vault.

How does memory level configuration work for Second Brain vaults?

Memory level configuration works by reading and writing a memory_level setting in the ~/.second-brain/config.json file. This config-driven mechanism toggles full, light, or off modes to control vault loading and auto-logging per session.

Can I enable full memory auto-logging for long-running research projects?

Yes, you can enable full memory auto-logging for long-running research projects by setting the memory level to full. This ensures all actions and decisions are captured in the Second Brain vault for complete context retention.

Do I need a specific config file to manage Second Brain memory usage?

Yes, you need the ~/.second-brain/config.json file to manage Second Brain memory usage. The Skill reads and writes the memory_level parameter within this JSON file to apply the full, light, or off configuration per session.
