Memory (Implicit Context)

PREREQUISITE: Read deepvista-shared for auth, profiles, and global flags.

Memory is the implicit context layer — automatically accumulated from Chat conversations. It is never directly editable. The AI surfaces relevant memory in Chat when appropriate ("I remember you mentioned…"). Users can view and search it, but all updates happen through Chat.

Command: deepvista memory <subcommand>

Commands

show

deepvista memory show [--limit N]

Show a summary of your accumulated memory context.

Flag	Required	Default	Description
--limit	No	20	Max entries to show

Read-only. Memory is automatically built from Chat — this command never modifies it.

search

deepvista memory search "query text" [--limit N]

Search through your memory context using semantic search.

Flag	Required	Default	Description
<query>	Yes	—	Search query
--limit	No	10	Max results

Read-only.

Design Principles

• Always implicit: Memory is only written by Chat — there is no manual write entry point.
• Occasionally surfaces: The AI proactively hints at relevant memories during Chat.
• Correctable: Tell the AI in Chat to correct a memory — it will update accordingly.
• Not directly editable: Users can view (CLI) but cannot directly modify memory entries.

Examples

# View memory summary
deepvista memory show

# Show more entries
deepvista memory show --limit 50

# Search for specific memories
deepvista memory search "project decisions"
deepvista memory search "team meeting Q1"
