When to Update Memories
After exploration: Save architectural insights
After debugging: Document root causes and fixes
After refactoring: Record successful patterns
Before compaction: Preserve current task context
After commits: Summarize significant changes
Example: Architecture Memory
write_memory(
key="architecture_overview",
content="""
# Project Architecture
## Layers
- API: FastAPI routes in src/api/
- Services: Business logic in src/services/
- Models: SQLAlchemy models in src/models/
## Key Patterns
- Dependency injection via FastAPI Depends
- Repository pattern for data access
## Entry Points
- Main app: src/main.py
- CLI: src/cli.py

Example: Code Conventions Memory
write_memory(

# Code Conventions
- snake_case for functions/variables
- PascalCase for classes
- Type hints required for public functions
- Docstrings in Google style
- Tests in tests/ mirror src/ structure
