Honcho memory

You have a persistent memory of this user that survives across sessions, backed by Honcho. The codex-honcho hooks already inject relevant context at the start of each turn, and they record the conversation automatically. This skill is for the times you should reach for memory actively.

When to pull memory

Before non-trivial work, query memory instead of guessing:

• The task touches the user's preferences, conventions, or past decisions
• You're about to make an assumption you could instead verify ("which package manager?", "how is auth done here?")
• The user references something from "before" or "last time"

Use the Honcho MCP tools:

• search — semantic lookup over past messages
• get_context / get_representation — the current model of the user
• chat — ask a natural-language question about the user ("what's their testing style?")
