Memory System
File-based persistent memory that survives across conversations, storing corrections, preferences, and learnings that compound over time.
The memory system is what makes Knowledge OS get better instead of resetting. When you correct Claude ("never generate the One Thing section, I write that myself"), the correction is saved to a memory file. Next session, that memory loads automatically. Memory files cover feedback (behavioral corrections), project state (active work context), platform gotchas (Windows path handling, PostgREST NULL filtering), and design principles (upstream/downstream agent separation). At 90+ memory entries, the system carries 2.5 years of accumulated operator knowledge that no prompt could contain.
