I spend most of my day in the terminal with an AI coding assistant. Every session I would solve something worth remembering: a tricky fix, a config gotcha, a small runbook. Then I would lose it. It lived in a scrollback buffer that vanished when I closed the tab. A month later I would re-solve the same thing.

The idea

Make the assistant maintain its own notes. Three moving parts:

On every prompt, search a small Markdown knowledge base (KB) and inject the relevant entries, so the assistant answers with prior context instead of re-deriving it.

When a session ends, capture anything worth keeping back into the KB.
