Line Memory

Use line memory for a small set of durable project facts that benefit from least-recently-used retention but do not need wiki pages, semantic search, citations, or a knowledge graph.

Retrieval

Always retrieve a bounded slice:

aiwg line-memory search "canonical tracker" --limit 5
aiwg line-memory list --limit 20

list and search refresh the returned entries by moving them to the newest position. Pass --no-touch only for inspection that must not change recency. Never read the complete backing file into startup context.

Mutation

aiwg line-memory add "Project uses Gitea as the canonical tracker."
aiwg line-memory touch "Project uses Gitea as the canonical tracker."
aiwg line-memory prune
aiwg line-memory list --limit 20 --json
aiwg line-memory import "Reviewed fact" --source-ref wiki:path --reviewer operator --confirm

Store one concise, non-sensitive fact per entry. Do not store secrets, credentials, access tokens, private keys, or sensitive personal data.

Use stable handles from --json for governed archive/remove/supersede operations. These mutations require --confirm; reviewed imports additionally require --source-ref and --reviewer so provenance is not lost.

Configuration

aiwg line-memory config get maxLines
aiwg line-memory config set maxLines 100

The default memory file is .aiwg/memory/line-memory.txt; configuration is stored in .aiwg/memory/line-memory.config.json.
