Last month I created a portable memory format as a .txt file as a small project. I named it as: Memory Journal, in a shape of a skill card. It's essentially a large prompt wrapped in a text file. Initial testing went better than I have expected, then did more tests and improved it in a course of a month, Because it was interesting to work on. It's meant to be general purpose, it can handle both casual and technical sessions, even though it can bend a bit. I found the it kinda cool so I decided to share it here. It's not perfect by any means but it works. The philosopy behind was simple "If an AI knows the context, it can describe how it created something too". In addition to context it has ability to be reproducible, it can transfer skill, transfer mistakes. along with proven, unproven and disproven facts. Journal mostly gives free reign to the writer (AI) and stays kinda neutral. Journal has been split into A/B/C sections, that serve differen purposes. [Capabilities]: Right now it can allow you to resume your work with journal + project files. AI can write a journal about EGO engine XML file conversion, and readers can reproduce the converter from journal alone. (Deepseek 4.1 (deep think mode) and Claude Sonnet 5 (high effort) recreated the converter in 1st try.) Journal can also cause drifts in behavior and vocabulary if you use a philosophically charged journal [Usage]: You give this "card" to an AI then they will create a text file as a memory journal. You can supply additional commands by yourself, like: "add completion status to goals" or "don't add x part to journal" and such. [Note]: It's best to use this journal with a capable AI model preferrably with an effort slider. Also yes skill card larp is actually part of the design, I know it looks eccentric but, isn't it cool?
