# Vestige Memory Skill

Cognitive memory system based on 130 years of memory research. FSRS-6 spaced repetition, spreading activation, synaptic tagging—all running 100% local.

## Binary Location

```
~/bin/vestige-mcp
~/bin/vestige
~/bin/vestige-restore
```

## When to Use

- **Persistent memory** across sessions
- **User preferences** ("I prefer TypeScript", "I always use dark mode")
- **Bug fixes** and solutions worth remembering
- **Project patterns** and architectural decisions
- **Reminders** and future triggers

## Quick Commands

### Search Memory

```bash
echo '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"tools/call","params":{"name":"search","arguments":{"query":"user preferences"}}}' | ~/bin/vestige-mcp 2>/dev/null | jq -r '.result.content[0].text // .error.message'
```

### Save Memory (Smart Ingest)

```bash
echo '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"tools/call","params":{"name":"smart_ingest","arguments":{"content":"User prefers Swiss Modern design style for presentations","tags":["preference","design"]}}}' | ~/bin/vestige-mcp 2>/dev/null | jq -r '.result.content[0].text // .error.message'
```
