Skills & memory
Reusable instructions, remembered facts and settled project decisions — given to every agent run PaneScale starts, always as context and never as a command.
Agents start every run without knowing your conventions, what you told them last week or what the team already decided. Settings → Skills keeps that knowledge in one place and hands it to every agent run PaneScale starts for you.
| Kind | Holds | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Skills | Longer instructions you reuse | A review checklist, code conventions, your release steps |
| Memory | Short facts — for all projects or for one | Answer in English · Tests run with npm run test:all |
| Decisions | Settled decisions of a project, so agents don’t reopen them | We stay with SQLite instead of Postgres |
Where they are used
Skills, memory and decisions go into every agent run that PaneScale starts on your behalf: Chat and project threads, teammates, tasks, routines, the Overnight Autopilot, Point & Fix and the Video Studio agent.
Interactive terminal panes are your own sessions — nothing is slipped into them.
Skills
Add skill with a name and the content — What should the agent always keep in mind? Edit changes a skill, the bin deletes it. Skills apply to all projects; up to ten are given to each run, in alphabetical order.
Memory
Type a fact and press Enter or Add:
- Fact for all projects — applies everywhere,
- Fact only for the active project — appears when a project is open.
Every fact shows whether it applies to all projects or one, and when it was added. PaneScale keeps at most 50 facts per project; the newest 20 that apply go into every run.
Decisions
Decisions belong to the active project — open a project to record them. Up to 50 are kept per project, and the newest 20 go into every run. Use them for things that were weighed once and shouldn’t be discussed again with every agent.
Teammate memory
Teammates also have a memory of their own, which they can learn from their conversations. It works the same way — context, never instructions — and only applies to that teammate.
