remember
Persistent, domain-organized memory system that captures lessons learned across VS Code projects.
What it does
- Global (global or user) - Stored in <global-prompts> (vscode-userdata:/User/prompts/) and apply to all VS Code projects
- Workspace (workspace or ws) - Stored in <workspace-instructions> (<workspace-root>/.github/instructions/) and apply only to the current project
- Discovers existing memory domains via glob patterns to find vscode-userdata:/User/prompts/-memory.instructions.md files
- Matches learnings to domains or creates new domain files when needed
- Organizes knowledge contextually so future AI assistants find relevant guidance exactly when needed
- Builds institutional memory that prevents repeating mistakes across all projects
- >domain-name - Optional. Explicitly target a domain (e.g., >clojure, >git-workflow)
