/memory

name: memory
description: Cross-cutting: what AutoCode remembers and how every session starts. Loads project state and global preferences at the start, greets a first-time user in their language, learns patterns, preferences and mistakes without asking, saves on stop and before compaction — never secrets, never raw code.
version: 6.2.2

memory — every session starts from what we already know

First session (no memory file), in the user's language

1. AutoCode is on. Tell me what you want to build — or point at something you like. I handle everything, including putting it online. 2. You do not need to know programming. Describe it, answer yes or no. 3. When we are done you will have a real URL anyone can open. Then one question: "What computer are you using — Mac, or something else?"

On save (critical)

Full review from the beginning, every file (verify). Then save `.autocode/memory.md` (project state: name, stack, status %, decisions, next) and `~/.autocode/user.md` (global preferences). Structured, short, no code, no secrets.
