Indent learns as you work, without being asked — and you can also tell it something to remember directly. It applies what it knows in every later session.
What Indent remembers
Indent remembers durable facts worth applying next time:
- Your preferences for how work is done and how results are reported.
- Your team’s conventions and definitions.
- Facts about your systems, such as a table’s quirks or a service’s setup.
- Steps for a task you walked it through.
It doesn’t keep passing details, such as the state of a single task.
How you teach it
Indent learns as you work, without being asked, and it captures your corrections. Tell it to do something a certain way, and it applies that in later sessions. You can also ask it directly to remember something.
What’s personal and what’s shared
Indent files each memory by what it concerns. What Indent learns about you stays personal to you. What Indent learns about your organization is shared with your team, so a new convention applies for everyone. Integrations and automations also form their own memories over time.

AGENTS.md, memory, and skills
AGENTS.md, memory, and skills all give Indent context that persists, but each fits a different
kind of guidance.
AGENTS.mdholds repository facts that stay true across most tasks. You write it and commit it to the repository, so it is versioned, reviewed in pull requests, and read in full at the start of every session that includes that repository. Use it for setup, architecture, conventions, testing, and deployment.- Memory holds what Indent should carry across sessions but isn’t tied to one repository. Indent writes memory as it works, and you can ask it to remember something directly. Each note is filed as personal to you or shared with your organization. Use it for your preferences, conventions that span repositories, and facts you teach Indent in passing.
- Skills hold a specific, repeatable procedure that’s too narrow for
AGENTS.md. You commit a skill to the repository, and Indent pulls it in only when a task matches. Use it for a workflow like deploying one service or triaging a class of incident.
