Memories

Ziva remembers what it learns about your project and how you like to work. Tell it something once, and new chats start already knowing it.

Memories are on by default with ZivaCode models. There’s nothing to set up.

How to use it

Just talk to Ziva as usual. It saves things worth remembering on its own, and you can also ask directly:

• “Remember that I’m new to Godot, so explain what you change.”
• “Remember that I want to keep this a simple 2D game.”
• “Forget what you saved about the old inventory system.”

When Ziva saves or forgets something, you’ll see a Saved memory or Forgot memory line in the chat. Saving a memory never touches your project files.

Example

Tell Ziva: “Remember that I’m new to Godot. Explain each change in plain language.” In your next chat, ask it to add a collectible coin. Ziva uses that preference when explaining its changes.

What Ziva remembers

• Your preferences: how much explanation you want and how you like to work
• Corrections: things you told Ziva to do differently, and why
• Project decisions: goals and choices that aren’t obvious from the files, like “this game is for phones, so keep the controls simple”
• Useful links: where to find your design doc, task board, or other references

Ziva doesn’t save things it can already see in your project or your AGENTS.md, or details that only matter to the current chat.

See, edit, or delete memories

• Ask Ziva: “What do you remember about this project?”
• Open the folder: go to Settings → Agent and click Open memory folder. Each memory is a plain text file you can read or edit.
• Forget one thing: ask Ziva to forget it.
• Forget everything: click Delete all memories in Settings → Agent. This can’t be undone.

Privacy

• Memories are saved on your computer, not in your project folder.
• They aren’t included when you share your project files with teammates.
• Each project has its own memories.
• Like the rest of your chat, memories are sent to the AI model so it can use them.

Turn memories off

Go to Settings → Agent and switch off Enable memories. Ziva stops reading and saving memories. Anything already saved stays on your computer until you delete it.

Memories vs. AGENTS.md

If a memory turns into a rule your whole team should follow, move it into AGENTS.md.

Troubleshooting

Ziva didn’t use something I just told it. New memories apply from your next chat. Start one with /new.
