dsh-auto-memory

The most annoying part of a long, multi-session build is not writing code—it is losing the thread. Close the terminal, reopen the project, and the architecture decisions, constraints, and trade-offs from yesterday are gone. DSH treats every session like a fresh page, leaving you to carry context entirely in your head. dsh-auto-memory plugs exactly that gap: at the start of each session it loads the project-root memory index and hands the key conclusions straight to the model, so the conversation never truly starts from scratch.

The plugin is deliberately model-free and keeps its scope tight. While a session is running, it checks the line count and byte size of MEMORY.md against the soft limits you configure in the GUI; when you exceed either, it nudges you to tidy up your notes. If a previous session was closed without finishing the wrap-up, it drops a flag file under .dsh/ and reminds you to complete it on the next launch, then clears the flag once you are done. On first run it scaffolds the MEMORY.md index and a memory/_TEMPLATE.md note out of the box, so there is no manual bootstrapping. Every setting—index file path, line ceiling, size ceiling, enable toggle—lives in the panel under Settings > Plugins > AutoMemory, with sliders and dropdowns instead of YAML.

If you use DSH for projects that span days and multiple topics, and you prefer design decisions recorded in the repo rather than pasted by hand every time, this plugin adds that lightweight auto-remember layer with zero model dependencies. Install it, restart DSH, and the memory loop just starts working.
