- Project memory is a short list of facts kept in context on every turn. Small, always visible, for the things that shape every reply.
- Named blocks are longer-lived notes with a title. Only the title and a
one-line description are listed in context; the agent reads the full body with
recallwhen it becomes relevant.
remember, reads with recall, and retracts with
forget, all on its own during a turn. You can manage the same store from the
shell:
What belongs there
Lasting facts: conventions, preferences, workflow rules, environment quirks. Not conversation history; sessions already persist, and/compact summarizes
them when they grow long.
In chat
/memory prints what Aster remembers in this project, both layers. Ask it to
remember something in plain language and it writes the block itself; correct it
later and it updates or retracts the block.
