| # Memory Tool (`save_memory`) |
| |
| This document describes the `save_memory` tool for Qwen Code. |
|
|
| ## Description |
|
|
| Use `save_memory` to save and recall information across your Qwen Code sessions. With `save_memory`, you can direct the CLI to remember key details across sessions, providing personalized and directed assistance. |
|
|
| ### Arguments |
|
|
| `save_memory` takes one argument: |
|
|
| - `fact` (string, required): The specific fact or piece of information to remember. This should be a clear, self-contained statement written in natural language. |
|
|
| ## How to use `save_memory` with Qwen Code |
| |
| The tool appends the provided `fact` to your context file in the user's home directory (`~/.qwen/QWEN.md` by default). This filename can be configured via `contextFileName`. |
| |
| Once added, the facts are stored under a `## Qwen Added Memories` section. This file is loaded as context in subsequent sessions, allowing the CLI to recall the saved information. |
| |
| Usage: |
| |
| ``` |
| save_memory(fact="Your fact here.") |
| ``` |
| |
| ### `save_memory` examples |
| |
| Remember a user preference: |
| |
| ``` |
| save_memory(fact="My preferred programming language is Python.") |
| ``` |
| |
| Store a project-specific detail: |
| |
| ``` |
| save_memory(fact="The project I'm currently working on is called 'gemini-cli'.") |
| ``` |
| |
| ## Important notes |
| |
| - **General usage:** This tool should be used for concise, important facts. It is not intended for storing large amounts of data or conversational history. |
| - **Memory file:** The memory file is a plain text Markdown file, so you can view and edit it manually if needed. |
