Assistant Memory

Assistant Memory is a small local Markdown file for stable preferences you want a connected assistant to reuse. It is not a password manager, contact database, or general notes system.

  • Your preferred response length.
  • A default writing tone.
  • A filename convention.
  • A recurring output format.

Use fictional or nonsensitive examples when testing, such as:

  • Default to concise answers.
  • Use kebab-case for filenames.
  • Present decisions as question, answer, and reasoning.

Do not store passwords, recovery codes, license keys, financial information, or other secrets.

When the Preferences toolset is enabled, say what should be remembered as a stable preference. The assistant can append one short note. It should not save temporary task context or information already available from the current conversation or project.

Before drafting on your behalf, a connected assistant can read these preferences and apply them to tone, naming, structure, and defaults.

The file stays on your Mac in the Super Voice Mode configuration folder. Other software running under your macOS account may be able to read it, so treat it like an ordinary local file rather than a secure secrets store.

The file has a 32-kilobyte limit, and each new note is limited to one kilobyte. Remove outdated preferences when the file becomes noisy or contradictory.

  • Save preferences that should remain true next month, not facts that matter only today.
  • Use one clear instruction per line.
  • Remove contradictory preferences instead of adding another exception.
  • Keep sensitive personal information out of shared screenshots and examples.
