# GitHub Copilot Memory Tool
**Finally, Copilot that actually remembers you.**
Perfect timing for 2025: VS Code now loads instructions with every message. This tool gives Copilot **persistent memory** across all your conversations.
[](https://opensource.org/licenses/MIT)
[](https://www.python.org/downloads/)
## Why This Matters Now
**2025 Game Changer**: VS Code's new behavior loads custom instructions with **every chat request** (not just session start). This means:
- **Your memories are ALWAYS active** in every conversation
- **No more repeating context** when you start new chats
- **Copilot truly knows you** across sessions, topics, and projects
- **Perfect timing** - built for the new instruction loading behavior
## See It In Action
**Before this tool:**
> *"Hey Copilot, write me a Python function..."*
> Copilot: *Gives generic Python code*
**After using `remember`:**
> You: *"Remember I'm a senior data architect at Oatly, prefer type hints, and use Black formatting"*
> Next conversation: *"Write me a Python function..."*
> Copilot: *Generates perfectly styled code with type hints, following your exact preferences*
## Dead Simple to Use
**One command does everything:**
```
Ask Copilot: "Remember that I prefer detailed docstrings and use pytest for testing"
```
That's it. Copilot now knows this **forever**, across all future conversations.
### What You Can Remember:
- **Work context** - Your role, company, current projects
- **Coding preferences** - Languages, frameworks, style guides
- **Project details** - Architecture decisions, naming conventions
- **Personal workflow** - How you like to work, debug, test
## How It Works Behind the Scenes
1. **Auto-setup** - Creates `memory.instructions.md` in your VS Code prompts directory on first use
2. **Smart storage** - Each memory gets timestamped and organized
3. **Always loaded** - VS Code's 2025 behavior means your memories are included in every chat request
4. **Cross-session persistence** - Your memories survive VS Code restarts and new conversations
## Bonus Features
Beyond memory, this tool also manages your VS Code prompt ecosystem:
- **Curated library** - 20+ professional chatmodes and instructions
- **File management** - Create, edit, and organize `.chatmode.md` and `.instructions.md` files
- **Stay updated** - Update files from source while keeping your customizations
## Get It Running (2 Minutes)
### 1. Install from PyPI
```bash
pip install mode-manager-mcp
```
### 2. Add to VS Code
Add this to your VS Code MCP settings (`mcp.json`):
```json
{
"servers": {
"mode-manager": {
"command": "mode-manager-mcp"
}
}
}
```
That's it! Start chatting with Copilot and use: *"Remember that..."*
## Perfect Timing for 2025
This tool is built specifically for VS Code's new behavior where **custom instructions load with every chat message**. This makes persistent memory incredibly powerful - your memories are always active, no matter what topic you're discussing.
