AI Memory Systems: Four Memory Types and Semantic Recall

Last time we covered context compaction — solving “how much the current session can remember”. But a coding assistant needs another kind of memory: long-term memory across sessions.

You close Claude Code and reopen it tomorrow. What should it know?

You prefer TypeScript over JavaScript
You said last time “don’t use the underscore library”
This project uses Vitest, not Jest
You once corrected one of its misunderstandings

Context compaction can’t handle these. The session ends, the history clears, tomorrow is a fresh window. If the AI needs you to re-explain everything each time, it isn’t an assistant — it’s a burden.
