# Memstate MCP - Memory Storage

This project uses Memstate MCP for persistent, versioned memory across sessions.

## REQUIRED: Start and end every task with memory

**BEFORE starting any task**, load relevant context so you don't redo past work or revert intentional decisions. **Prefer targeted retrieval** — do not dump the full memory tree by default.

**Default — search by what you're working on:**
```
memstate_search(query="<task topic>", project_id="<your_project>")
```

**When you know the exact keypath — fetch that subtree only:**
```
memstate_get(project_id="<your_project>", keypath="<subtree>")
```

**Full tree (discovery only):** `memstate_get(project_id="<your_project>")` with **no keypath** returns **every memory** in the project. Use this only when you need to explore the full tree to discover keypaths and values — not as the default before every task.

**AFTER completing any task**, save what you did so the next session has context:
```
memstate_remember(project_id="<your_project>", content="## Task Summary\n- What was done\n- Key decisions made\n- Files modified", source="agent")
```

Reading before tasks and saving after are both important. Skipping them means the next session starts blind.

## Tool reference

| Tool | When to use |
|------|-------------|
| memstate_search | **Default before tasks.** Find relevant memories by meaning. Returns ranked results without flooding context. |
| memstate_get | Fetch a **specific subtree** when you know the keypath. With no keypath, returns the **full project tree** — discovery/exploration only. |
| memstate_remember | **End of every task.** Save markdown summaries, notes, decisions. |
| memstate_set | Store a single key=value fact (e.g. config.port). Not for summaries. |
| memstate_history | View version history of a keypath. |
| memstate_delete | Soft-delete a keypath (history preserved). |

## Project naming
Use a short snake_case name matching your repo or topic (e.g. my_app, api_service). All related memories should share the same project_id.

I'm onboarding Memstate AI memory for this project. Please:
1. Analyze this codebase and write a concise high-level architecture overview in markdown — covering the main components, tech stack, key directories, and how data flows through the system.
2. Save it to Memstate using: memstate_remember(project_id="<your_project>", content="<the markdown>", source="agent")
3. Then call memstate_search(query="architecture overview", project_id="<your_project>") and show me the results so I can confirm it worked.
