# Memory Tool (`save_memory`)
This document describes the `save_memory` tool for the Gemini CLI.
## Description
Use `save_memory` to save and recall information across your Gemini CLI sessions. With `save_memory`, you can direct the CLI to remember key details across sessions, providing personalized and directed assistance.
### Arguments
`save_memory` takes one argument:
- `fact` (string, required): The specific fact or piece of information to remember. This should be a clear, self-contained statement written in natural language.
## How to use `save_memory` with the Gemini CLI
The tool appends the provided `fact` to a special `GEMINI.md` file located in the user's home directory (`~/.gemini/GEMINI.md`). This file can be configured to have a different name.
Once added, the facts are stored under a `## Gemini Added Memories` section. This file is loaded as context in subsequent sessions, allowing the CLI to recall the saved information.
Usage:
```
save_memory(fact="Your fact here.")
```
### `save_memory` examples
Remember a user preference:
```
save_memory(fact="My preferred programming language is Python.")
```
Store a project-specific detail:
```
save_memory(fact="The project I'm currently working on is called 'gemini-cli'.")
```
## Important notes
- **General usage:** This tool should be used for concise, important facts. It is not intended for storing large amounts of data or conversational history.
- **Memory file:** The memory file is a plain text Markdown file, so you can view and edit it manually if needed.
