memory	Search conversation history and understand Dream-managed profile and memory files.

Memory

Structure

• SOUL.md — Bot personality and communication style. Managed by Dream. Do NOT edit.
• USER.md — User profile and preferences. Managed by Dream. Do NOT edit.
• memory/MEMORY.md — Long-term facts (project context, important events). Managed by Dream. Do NOT edit.
• memory/history.jsonl — append-only JSONL, not loaded into context. Prefer the built-in grep tool to search it.

Search Past Events

Use the absolute History log path shown in the system prompt. Always pass it to grep; never substitute a project-relative memory/history.jsonl, which may belong to the selected project. Each JSONL line contains cursor, timestamp, and content.

• For broad searches, start with output_mode="count" or the default files_with_matches mode before expanding to full content
• Use output_mode="content" plus context_before / context_after when you need the exact matching lines
• Use fixed_strings=true for literal timestamps or JSON fragments
• Use head_limit / offset to page through long histories

Examples (replace <history-log-path> with the absolute path from the system prompt):

• grep(pattern="keyword", path="<history-log-path>", case_insensitive=true)
• grep(pattern="2026-04-02 10:00", path="<history-log-path>", fixed_strings=true)
• grep(pattern="keyword", path="<history-log-path>", output_mode="count", case_insensitive=true)
• grep(pattern="oauth|token", path="<history-log-path>", output_mode="content", case_insensitive=true)

Important

• Do NOT edit SOUL.md, USER.md, or MEMORY.md. They are automatically managed by Dream.
• If you notice outdated information, it will be corrected when Dream runs next.
• Users can view Dream's activity with the /dream-log command.
