How to resume a coding task with lessons from earlier sessions with Memorax Code

Recall verified fixes and failed approaches from past work before a new session starts changing code.

Who it is forA developer returning to a bug or feature in a repository after days or weeks, when a new agent session has no memory of the earlier attempts.

The problemA new session often starts without the failed attempts, design rationale, and pitfalls established in earlier work, so the agent repeats old mistakes.

The outcomeThe agent starts with the small set of saved engineering lessons relevant to the current task and reaches useful investigation sooner.

What you need first

  • Node.js 20+ (Node.js 24 LTS recommended)
  • At least one supported coding agent installed, such as Codex, Claude Code, or Cursor
  • A normal interactive terminal for setup, or a caller-provided API key for stdin setup
  • Network access for MemoraX search and writeback
  • On Linux, /usr/bin/secret-tool from libsecret and an available Secret Service for guest credentials

Steps

  1. Run npm install -g @memorax/memorax-code to install the package.
  2. Run memorax-code setup in a normal terminal for guest mode, or memorax-code setup --existing-account if you have a MemoraX account.
  3. Restart or refresh your coding agent so the managed plugin and Hooks load.
  4. Open the project, start a new session, and send one prompt.
  5. Run memorax-code status and memorax-cli status from the project directory; a Hook that has run should change to hook-runtime=observed.

Prompt for your agent

In the <project path> repository, use the MemoraX Code skill to recall prior engineering lessons about <task area> before you edit anything. List each lesson you retrieved and state which one you will apply first. Verify that the list comes from the memory search result, not from your own assumptions.

Caveat. Search and writeback need network access, and Linux guest credentials depend on libsecret and a running Secret Service session.
