Read Working Memory

Start every session with context. Your Working Memory is a daily briefing synthesized from your knowledge base.

When to Use

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

• 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

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

Usage

cat ~/ai-now/memory.md

What You'll Find

• Active Focus Areas — Topics you're currently engaged with, ranked by recent activity
• Priorities — Items flagged as important or needing attention
• Unresolved Flags — Contradictions, stale information, or items needing verification
• Recent Activity — What changed in your knowledge base since the last briefing
• Deep Links — References to specific memories for further exploration

How to Use This Context

1. Read once at session start — don't re-read unless asked
2. Reference naturally — mention relevant context when it connects to the current task
3. Don't overwhelm — share only the parts relevant to what the user is working on
4. Cross-tool continuity — insights saved in other tools (Cursor, Claude Code, Codex) appear here

Examples

# Read today's briefing
cat ~/ai-now/memory.md

# Check if the file exists first
test -f ~/ai-now/memory.md && cat ~/ai-now/memory.md || echo "No Working Memory found. Ensure Nowledge Mem is running with Background Intelligence enabled."
