# Agent memory for durable knowledge

> Save and search durable workspace facts, decisions, preferences, and conventions so Dench agents reuse stable knowledge across sessions.

Memory is for stable knowledge that should outlive a single run, not scratch
notes and not secrets.

  dench memory save deployment-policy \
    "Never deploy without human approval." \
    --kind decision --tags deployment,policy --json
