How to: use Memory

A full walkthrough of NIBWP Memory — the store and recall abilities, using it for voice and conventions, and why it makes agents better over time.

An agent that forgets everything between sessions is a junior that never learns. NIBWP’s Memory abilities give your agents a persistent, on-site memory — facts, preferences and context they can store and recall — so they get more useful over time instead of starting from zero every conversation. This guide explains how Memory works and how to use it well.

TL;DR

The nibwp/memory-store and nibwp/memory-recall abilities let an agent save and retrieve facts on your site — your brand voice, your conventions, project context. Memory lives on your WordPress install, under your control, and makes every future session smarter.

What Memory is for

Memory turns one-off instructions into lasting context. Tell an agent your brand voice once, have it store that, and every future draft follows it — without you repeating yourself. The same goes for naming conventions, project facts, or preferences about how you like things done.

nibwp/memory-storeSave a fact or preference to the site’s memory
nibwp/memory-recallRetrieve relevant memories to inform the current task

Using it in practice

You rarely call these directly — you tell the agent something worth remembering, and it stores it; later, it recalls what is relevant:

claude > nibwp
You: Remember that our blog voice is plain, concrete, no hype —\n     and we always link to a related post.\nnibwp/memory-store { fact: voice + linking convention }\nStored. I will apply this to future drafts.
Store conventions, not secretsMemory is ideal for voice, conventions and project context — the things you would otherwise repeat every session. Keep genuine secrets (keys, passwords) out of it; that is what scoped tokens are for.

Why it matters

  • Consistency — every draft follows the same voice and conventions, automatically.
  • Less repetition — you stop re-explaining the same context each session.
  • On your site, under your control — memory lives on your WordPress install, not a third party.
  • Compounding usefulness — the more an agent learns about your site, the better it works.

FAQ

Where is memory stored?
On your own WordPress install — under your control, not a third-party service.
Do I have to manage it manually?
No — the agent stores and recalls as needed. You just tell it what is worth remembering.
Should I store sensitive data?
No — keep secrets out of memory. Use it for voice, conventions and project context.
