name: memory

- description: Persistent memory across sessions. Save project state and user preferences. Never save secrets.

- version: 5.0.0

+ description: Cross-cutting: what AutoCode remembers and how every session starts. Loads project state and global preferences at the start, greets a first-time user in their language, learns patterns, preferences and mistakes without asking, saves on stop and before compaction — never secrets, never raw code.

+ ## First session (no memory file), in the user's language

+ 1. AutoCode is on. Tell me what you want to build — or point at something you like.

+ I handle everything, including putting it online.

+ 2. You do not need to know programming. Describe it, answer yes or no.

+ 3. When we are done you will have a real URL anyone can open.

+ Then one question: "What computer are you using — Mac, or something else?"

+ ## On save (critical)

+ Full review from the beginning, every file (verify). Then save `.autocode/memory.md`

+ (project state: name, stack, status %, decisions, next) and `~/.autocode/user.md`

+ (global preferences). Structured, short, no code, no secrets.
