Interactive Memory Bank
Maintain deep project context and architectural continuity across disparate development sessions.
System Overview
Traditional AI assistants often experience "context decay" between work sessions. Sypha's Memory Bank resolves this by maintaining a structured framework of documentation that the AI parses at the initialization of every task. This transforms Sypha into a persistent architectural partner that retains a deep understanding of your technical stack, project goals, and implementation history.
When the Memory Bank is initialized, Sypha identifies its state with the [Memory Bank: Active] indicator.
Strategic Benefits
- Knowledge Persistence: Maintain project-specific insights without the need for repetitive, manual re-explanation.
- Accelerated Onboarding: Sypha immediately "inherits" the technical requirements and framework constraints of your repository.
- Autonomous Documentation: High-fidelity project records are generated as a natural byproduct of your collaborative development.
Logical Architecture
Memory Bank assets are standard Markdown files stored within the .sypha/rules/memory-bank/ directory. Sypha automatically audits these files whenever a new objective is defined.
Core Asset Registry
- brief.md: A high-level manifesto of the project's core objectives and mission (manually curated).
- product.md: Documents the underlying "why" and "how" of the product's value proposition.
- context.md: A dynamic ledger tracking current task focus, recent logic shifts, and immediate next steps.
- architecture.md: Codifies critical technical decisions and high-level system design.
- tech.md: An inventory of utilized technologies, frameworks, and environment configurations.
Getting Started
- Initialize the
.sypha/rules/memory-bank/directory at your project root. - Define your baseline vision within the
brief.mdasset. - Pivot Sypha to the Strategist persona.
- Direct the agent to: "initialize memory bank".
- Sypha will audit your repository and recursively populate the core documentation assets.
Operating Workflows
- Context Synchronization: Direct Sypha to "update memory bank" after implementing systemic shifts to ensure the internal documentation remains synchronized.
- Task Ledgering: Use the command "store this as a task" to document repeatable technical workflows within the
tasks.mdasset.
Status Visualization
[Memory Bank: Active]: The agent is successfully utilizing your project's persisted memory.[Memory Bank: Missing]: No valid memory bank structure was detected within the workspace.
