Edit project memory

edit_project_memory

Group: Long-term memory
Turned on by: The memory switches on the Advanced tools page of Conversation settings.
Approval: Not reviewed: runs without asking, within the limits on this page.
Profile key: tool.edit_project_memory.description

Changes one passage of an existing project memory document and rewrites its line in the memory index.

The model uses it to correct or extend what it saved in a workspace's .mework/memory/. New documents are made with create_project_memory. Editing project memory never asks. See Memory and instructions.

Limits

After the change, the document can be at most 256 KiB and MEMORY.md at most 64 KiB.

Good to know

You can edit the documents in any editor too. The model sees your change the next time it reads the document.
In a conversation with more than one workspace, the tool takes an optional workspace number saying whose memory to edit (default 1). With one workspace it has no such parameter.

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Details
`description` required Description	string	One-sentence index entry describing the document after the change.
`name` required Name	string	Existing document name; the .md suffix is optional.
`new_text` required New text	string	Replacement text; an empty string deletes the passage.
`old_text` required Original text	string	Passage to replace; must occur exactly once in the document.
