Memoria
Environment
Set the vault path so all commands work:
export MEMORIA_VAULT=~/memory
If not set, pass -v ~/memory on every command.
Session Lifecycle
Run at the start and end of every session:
memoria wake # start session, restore context
memoria checkpoint --working-on "<task>" # mid-session save
memoria sleep "<summary>" --next "<next steps>" # end session, write handoff
Storing Memories
memoria remember <type> "<title>" --content "<details>"
memoria sync --push # always sync after storing
Types: fact, decision, preference, lesson, commitment, relationship, project
What to capture (proactively, without being asked)
| Signal | Type |
|---|---|
| Human shares personal info (name, location, health, settings) | fact |
| A decision is made with reasoning | decision |
| Human says "I prefer / always / never..." | preference |
| An insight or lesson emerges | lesson |
| A promise, goal, or deadline is set | commitment |
| A person is mentioned with context | relationship |
| An ongoing project is discussed | project |
If in doubt, store it. Better to have a memory you never look up than to forget something.
Proactive capture triggers
Listen for these patterns and store immediately:
- "I always...", "I never...", "I prefer..." ->
preference - "Let's go with...", "We decided...", "The plan is..." ->
decision - "I learned that...", "Turns out...", "The trick is..." ->
lesson - "My name is...", "I take...", "I live in...", "I work at..." ->
fact - "I need to...", "I promised...", "By next week..." ->
commitment - "Talk to Alice about...", "Bob said..." ->
relationship - "We're building...", "The project is..." ->
project
Examples
memoria remember fact "Human lives in Tokyo" --content "Mentioned during onboarding"
memoria remember preference "No emojis in code" --content "Explicitly requested"
memoria remember decision "Use Fly.io" --content "Chosen over Vercel for APAC latency"
memoria sync --push
Searching
Before making decisions or giving advice, check existing memories:
memoria search "<query>"
Other Commands
memoria store <category> "<title>" --content "<body>" # store in explicit category
memoria list [category] # list documents
memoria get <id> # get specific document
memoria status # vault stats + session state
memoria sync --pull # pull Notion changes to local
Notion Setup
One-time configuration:
memoria setup-notion --token <token> --page <page-id>
After setup, always run memoria sync --push after storing memories.
