Memory Journal: A Portable .txt Format That Transfers AI Context and Skills
NoobSolid26 · reddit · 2026-10-09
Reddit user NoobSolid26 shares Memory Journal, a portable memory format built as a skill-card-style .txt prompt. Beyond context, it transfers skills, past mistakes, and proven/unproven/disproven facts, letting an AI resume work from journal + project files alone. DeepSeek 4.1 (deep think) and Claude Sonnet 5 (high effort) both recreated an XML converter on the first try from its journal. The format splits into A/B/C sections, supports custom authoring commands, and ships with multiple example journals on Pastebin—though philosophically charged journals can cause behavioral drift.
