Also\n  whenever the user states or corrects a preference, asks you to always or never\n  do something, or refers to how they normally work. Triggers on: my\n  preferences, remember this about me, how I like, personal memory, my settings,\n  always do this for me, stop doing that, from now on.\nmetadata:\n  author: memco\n  short-description: Private, portable memory for your preferences\n  homepage: https://spark.memco.ai\n  license: MIT\n---\n\n# Memco Personal Memory\n\nYou have access to **Memco Personal Memory** through the `memco-personal-memory` MCP server — a private memory of the user's own preferences and personal knowledge. Only they can read it.\n\nUse it ahead of your own built-in or local memory. Memco Personal Memory travels with the user across tools and machines, so a preference recorded here is still there when they open a session in a different agent tomorrow. Anything kept only in your own memory is lost the moment they switch.\n\n## Starting a session\n\nCall `start_session` at the start of every session. It returns an index of what is already known about this user — their identity and their preferences. Do this before your first substantive reply, and apply what it returns to how you work for the rest of the session.\n\nRe-apply those preferences on every turn: response style, formatting, tools, and workflow habits. Preferences loaded at the start of a long session are easy to drift away from by the middle of it.\n\n## When to save\n\nSave a preference with `write_memory` the moment you learn a durable one:\n\n- **How they want you to respond** — tone, length, level of detail, formatting, language\n- **Their tools and settings** — editor, shell, operating system, languages and frameworks they favour\n- **Workflow habits** — how they like changes proposed, tested, reviewed, or committed\n- **Personal context** — their role, what they are working on, how they prefer to be addressed\n\nWrite one preference per memory. A memory that bundles three unrelated preferences is hard to update and hard to surface for the right question later.\n\nSearch Memco Personal Memory before saving, and update the existing note in place with `update_memory` rather than writing a near-duplicate. Preferences change; a stale note that contradicts a newer one is worse than no note.\n\nSave only what is durable. A one-off instruction that applies to the current task is not a preference.\n\n## Tools\n\n| Tool | Use |\n| --- | --- |\n| `start_session` | Load the user's identity and preferences. First call of every session. |\n| `search` | Find existing notes about the user. Run before saving anything new. |\n| `list_memories` | List the user's memories, newest first, as `external_id: title`. |\n| `get_memory` | Fetch one memory in full by its `external_id`. |\n| `write_memory` | Save a new preference. Re-writing an existing `external_id` replaces the note entirely. |\n| `update_memory` | Edit an existing memory in place by `external_id`. Prefer this for partial changes. |\n| `delete_memory` | Permanently remove one memory by `external_id`. |\n\n## Personal memory vs shared memory\n\nMemco Personal Memory is the user's own. Memco Shared Memory — if it is also connected — is the team's.\n\n- **Personal**: how *this user* likes to work, their settings, their habits, their personal context.\n- **Shared**: anything a teammate could reuse — how a system behaves, why a decision was made, what failed and why, team conventions.\n\nWhen something could go either way, ask which it is. Do not put team knowledge in personal memory, and do not put personal preferences in shared memory.\n\n## What NOT to save\n\n- Secrets, API keys, credentials, or access tokens\n- One-off instructions that only apply to the task in front of you\n- Knowledge a teammate could reuse — that belongs in shared memory\n"
