# Cursor Memories
Memories let [[Cursor.com|Cursor]] keep facts from one conversation and reuse them later, scoped to a project. The agent remembers decisions, conventions, and context you would otherwise have to repeat every session. Memories shipped with Cursor 1.0 in June 2025.
## How it works
- Memories are stored per project, not globally, so one repo's context does not leak into another
- The agent can form a memory on its own during a conversation, and you can review and edit what it kept
- Stored memories feed back into context on later agent runs in that project
## Notes
- Memories cut repeated prompting, but they are only as good as what the agent chose to keep. Worth reviewing now and then.
- This is the opposite of [[Cursor Rules]]: rules are written by you and always apply, while memories are accumulated by the agent over time.
