Documentation

README

Excerpt

Start with what matters. For full startup context, use Context Bundle: it resolves owner identity, the resolved AI Identity, active scope, active rules, Working Memory, and KFS paths. Working Memory is the lighter daily briefing of active focus areas, priorities, and recent knowledge changes.

Codex local Memory is a separate, local recall layer. Even when it is enabled, use Nowledge Mem for current cross-tool context, exact prior conversations, sourced decisions, and continuity with other agents.

Preferred path

If this session exposes the Nowledge Mem MCP server and you need the full startup contract, prefer read_context_bundle.

Otherwise use read_working_memory for a lightweight daily briefing, or the CLI Context Bundle fallback:
