Where are my Mementos stored?

Mementos are stored locally in your project root under the `.claude/mementos/` directory. Completed tasks are moved to an `.archive/` subfolder for long-term reference.

Can Memento automatically pull info from my git history?

Yes, Memento can create snapshots automatically using the `from-pr` or `from-changes` sources, which analyze your current branch, PR description, or uncommitted file changes.

Does this help with context window limits?

Yes. By saving key information and using the /clear or /compact commands, you can reset Claude's token usage while using Memento to re-inject only the most relevant project state.

How do I restore my context after using /clear?

You can restore your context by running the command `/aida memento read [slug]`. This loads the saved state back into Claude's active memory so you can pick up exactly where you left off.

What is a Memento in Claude Code?

Productivity & Workflow

Manages persistent context snapshots to help Claude resume complex tasks across session clears and restarts.

Memento is a specialized context management skill designed to solve the problem of context loss during long-running AI development sessions. It allows developers to capture the current state of a task—including the core problem, technical approach, incremental progress, and upcoming steps—into a persistent file. By restoring these snapshots after a /clear or /compact command, Claude can immediately resume work with full situational awareness, eliminating the need for repetitive re-explanation and ensuring architectural consistency throughout the development lifecycle.
