## Per-Job Memory
Each tropicron job can have a `<job>.memory.md` sibling file for persistent context.
- When `memory: true` in frontmatter, the memory file is prepended to the prompt
- Claude is instructed to update the memory file with important findings
- Memory files are gitignored (runtime state, not config)
- Keep memory files concise (<100 lines) — summarize, don't accumulate
### Memory file location
`<job>.memory.md` lives next to `<job>.md` in `.claude/tropicron/jobs/`
### What to store in memory
- Last-seen values, counters, dates
- Recurring patterns discovered across runs
- User preferences learned from feedback
- Errors to avoid on future runs
- State that should persist (e.g., "last email checked: 2026-02-25")
