What Read Working Memory does

Read Working Memory opens your daily context briefing so you can see active focus areas, priorities, unresolved flags, and recent changes. Use it at session start or when you need to recall current work across tools.

Read Working Memory is cataloged under AI Engineering on DirSkills. Read Working Memory comes from a repository tagged agent-memory, alma, claude-code, cursor-plugin and gemini-cli-extension.

Documentation

README

Read Working Memory

Start every session with context. Use Context Bundle when owner identity, AI Identity, active scope, or rules could matter; it includes Working Memory. Use Working Memory alone for the lighter daily briefing.

When to Use

At session start:

  • Beginning of a new conversation
  • Returning to a project after a break
  • When context about recent work would help

During session:

  • User asks "what am I working on?" or "what's my context?"
  • User references recent priorities or decisions
  • Need to understand what's been happening across tools

Skip when:

  • Already loaded this session
  • User explicitly wants a fresh start
  • Working on an isolated, context-independent task

This is the opening of the README. Read the full README on GitHub.
