Aide Memory Overview

Persistent, path-scoped memory for coding agents is provided by the aide-memory MCP server, using local JSON files and MCP tools to store and recall project context. Six editor hooks detect corrections, prompt reflection, inject startup context, and trigger relevant recalls when files are accessed. Memories are organized into preferences, technical facts, area context, and guidelines, with more specific scopes ranked first. Reach for it when agents repeatedly forget coding conventions, architectural decisions, or team guidance across sessions and tools.
