Thank you!

Memory right now is flat markdown files (MEMORY.md , SOUL.md) that Claude reads at session start. Honestly it works better than you'd expect. Claude's context window is big enough that a few hundred lines of memory covers most personal assistant use cases. I'd rather keep it as plain text you can read and edit yourself than add a vector DB dependency for marginal recall gains.

The filesystem context thing is exactly right btw
