Memory

How PoorMad recalls across sessions — local-first, yours only.

Memory is how PoorMad recalls across sessions so it does not start from zero each time.

Kinds of memory

TypeWhat it stores
SessionTransient context for the current conversation.
Long-termDurable facts, preferences, and corrections you want kept.
Skill memoryLearned procedures (see Skills).

Where it lives

All memory lives under ~/.poormad/ on your machine. Nothing is sent to a third party unless you connect a remote surface and explicitly share context.

Saving a memory

> Remember that I prefer concise responses and Python 3.13.
> Remember we deploy to an Oracle VPS, not AWS.

Recall

On each session start, relevant long-term memories are injected into context. You can ask the agent to search or forget specific memories:

> What do you remember about my deploy setup?
> Forget the note about AWS.

Privacy

Memory is local-first. Deleting ~/.poormad/ erases everything. See Security & Privacy for the full model.
