note

To keep notes durable across Gemini conversations, you can save critical facts to a persistent notepad.md file. This ensures your important context survives session compaction by storing data in Priority Context, Working Memory, and MANUAL sections.

Auto-pruning for temporary debugging breadcrumbs automatically removes Working Memory entries after 7 days. This session memory mechanism keeps your notepad.md clean by expiring temporary notes while preserving permanent context.

The best way to save permanent notes and priority context is writing them to the MANUAL and Priority Context sections of notepad.md. These persistent sections safeguard critical facts from being lost during conversation compaction.

Yes, the note-taking skill automatically creates a .omc/notepad.md file if it is missing. This ensures your persistent context storage is initialized correctly before saving any Working Memory or MANUAL notes.

To view and manage saved context, use the `/oh-my-gemini:note --show` command to display contents and `--prune` to manually clean entries. You can add new notes by passing content directly to the command.

Use Working Memory for temporary debugging breadcrumbs that auto-prune after 7 days, and use MANUAL notes for permanent records. This context management strategy separates fleeting session data from critical, durable facts.
