# Memory sync
Keeps sessions from starting cold.
## Layout
```
memory/
MEMORY.md # curated, always loaded, keep under 8k
SOUL.md # who the agent is
USER.md # who you are
sessions/ # raw per-session notes, cleaned up after ~30d
decisions/ # short ADRs
tiers/
hot.md # always loaded
warm.md # loaded on keyword
cold/ # explicit read only
```
## Lifecycle
**Start**: read `MEMORY.md` and `tiers/hot.md`. Maybe `warm.md` if the task matches. Don't read `sessions/` unless you're digging into history. Should be under 15s total.
**End**: run `harness memory sync` or let the exit hook do it. It distills the session log into `MEMORY.md`, prunes old stuff, and adds an ADR if you made a real decision.
## Tips
- `MEMORY.md` is curated, not append only. Keep it under 8k tokens, edit surgically.
- If you considered 2+ approaches and picked one, write a short `decisions/ADR-###.md`.
- No secrets in memory, it gets redacted anyway.
Commands:
```bash
harness memory show
harness memory edit
harness memory prune --dry-run
harness memory sync --auto
