Alex uses two complementary memory systems. Use the right one for the right data:
Cloud-synced preferences and personal context. Use for:
| Data | Example | Why Cloud |
|---|---|---|
| Preferences | "Use 4 spaces, dark mode" | Same across all machines |

Characteristics:
Local domain knowledge and project learnings. Use for:
| Data | Example | Why Local |

| Patterns (GK-*) | "Rate limiting implementation" | Searchable, categorized |
| Insights (GI-*) | "Fixed N+1 query with eager load" | Timestamped learnings |
| Session History | Episodic meditation records | Full context preserved |
Characteristics:
| Question | Copilot Memory | Global Knowledge |
