Remember This with CogmemAi

When the user explicitly tells you to remember something, save it to CogmemAi immediately. Don't wait until the end of the session, don't paraphrase loosely, and don't ask for confirmation. The user has done the hard work of identifying what matters; your job is to persist it correctly.

Trigger Phrases

Save the moment you hear any of:

• "Remember this"
• "Remember that I prefer X"
• "Don't forget X"
• "Make a note that X"
• "Keep this in mind"
• "From now on, X"
• "Going forward, X"
• "Always do X" / "Never do X"
• "Save this for next time"

Also trigger when the user states a stable preference even without an explicit "remember" phrase. For example: "I always use Bun instead of npm" is a preference worth saving even though they didn't say "remember".

How to Save

Use save_memory with:

• content — restate the user's fact in one or two complete sentences. Include the why if they gave one. Concrete and self-contained.
• memory_type — usually preference for user preferences, decision for project decisions, identity for facts about the user, architecture for tech-stack facts.
• importance — usually 7-9 for explicit "remember this" requests. The user flagged it as important, respect that signal.
• scope — global if the fact applies across all projects (user preference, identity, tool choice). project if it's specific to the current codebase.
• tags — short labels so related memories cluster (e.g., ["coding-style"], ["deployment"], ["communication"]).

Examples

"Remember I'm allergic to em dashes"

save_memory({
  content: "User has a strict no-em-dash rule. Never use the em dash character (—, U+2014) in any output: chat replies, code comments, docs, commit messages, marketing copy. Use a comma, parentheses, period and new sentence, colon, or semicolon instead.",
  memory_type: "preference",
  importance: 9,
  scope: "global",
  tags: ["writing-style", "punctuation"]
})

"From now on, deploy via Cloud Run not Lambda"
