RightNow Agent memory stores facts, decisions, project conventions, and session summaries so later sessions can recover relevant context.
Memory is documented as experimental. The generic guide defaults it off, while the shipped RightNow profile explicitly sets memory.enabled = true.
| Location | Contents |
|---|---|
| ~/.rightnow/memory/MEMORY.md | Global facts and preferences shared across projects. |
| ~/.rightnow/memory/<project-slug>-<hash8>/MEMORY.md | Workspace-specific conventions and context. |
| .../sessions/ | Dated session summaries and logs. |
| index.sqlite | Search index for workspace memory and sessions. |
Workspace directories use a repository identity plus a short hash. Clones and worktrees with the same origin therefore share workspace memory.
| Command | Action |
|---|---|
| /memory | Browse global, workspace, and session files in a read-only preview. |
| /memory on | off | Toggle memory for the current session without deleting stored files. |
| /remember <note> | Review and save a durable note to workspace or global memory. |
| /flush | Generate and store a richer summary of the current session. |
| /dream | Consolidate scattered entries and session logs into deduplicated topics. |
The memory index supports FTS5 full-text search and optional vector search. Vector search requires a configured embedding model.

enabled = true
[memory.embedding]
model = ""The shipped profile leaves the embedding model empty. RightNow therefore runs full-text search without vector embeddings. Configure a model that the selected endpoint actually serves before expecting semantic vector search.
The shell command manages deletion. Its single subcommand is clear, and it asks for confirmation unless --yes or -y is supplied.
