 "title": "Turn on long-term memory and skill evolution for a recurring topic",
 "page_title": "How to turn on long-term memory and skill evolution for a recurring topic with Poirot",
 "summary": "Set the advanced feature flags so Poirot remembers past findings and improves its skills.",
 "who": "A researcher who returns to the same subject over many sessions and wants earlier findings reused.",
 "problem": "Each new research session starts from zero, so earlier findings and working methods get lost.",
 "outcome": "A Poirot setup with memory recall, auto-consolidation, and skill evolution enabled in .env.",
 "steps": [
  "Set up the project with `pip install -e \".[dev]\"` after creating a virtual environment, as in the Quick Start.",
  "Copy the sample config with `cp .env.example .env` and set DEEPSEEK_API_KEY.",
  "Add the memory variables POIROT_MEMORY_USE=default, POIROT_MEMORY_PHASE2_ENABLED=true, and POIROT_MEMORY_PHASE2_TURNS=10 to .env.",
  "Add the skill variables POIROT_SKILL_ENABLED=true, POIROT_SKILL_EVOLVE_ENABLED=true, and POIROT_SKILL_EVAL_ENABLED=true to .env.",
  "Start Poirot with `poirot`, ask a research question on your topic, then type `/skill search` to browse skills."
 ],
 "agent_prompt": "In the Poirot repo at <path to poirot checkout>, add the memory and skill variables from the README's Enable Advanced Features block to .env, then run `poirot` on the topic <topic>. Expected output: a session where memory recall and skill injection are active. Verify that the variables are set in .env before launching.",
