Hope's Memory

Persistent memory for the voice assistant, stored as plain markdown files. This directory is bind-mounted into the container at /memory, so memories survive rebuilds and are backed up via git.

Format

Each file is one topic, named after a slugified version of the topic (e.g. user-preferences.md, birthday.md). Content is freeform markdown notes. When Hope saves something, it appends a timestamped section:

# User preferences

Prefers to be called Shane. Works on the voice assistant project.

Likes dark roast coffee, no sugar.
  • # heading = the topic (written once when the file is created)
  • ## <timestamp> headings = individual notes, appended over time
  • The MCP server (agent/memory_mcp.py) reads and appends these files; you can also edit them by hand — Hope will pick up changes on next recall.
