The Portable Knowledge Base

Original title: 可移动知识库 · 4 essays in the archive · Chinese originals at hellowocao.com

The Portable Knowledge Base is a series of systems notes about making AI assistants retain and reuse information across sessions and devices. It addresses why AI forgets progress between conversations, why local notes are often ignored, and how to keep new rules from overriding old ones. The core focus is on creating a persistent memory layer that travels with you, so you do not have to re-explain everything each time you start a new chat or switch machines. It offers practical structures for that mobility.
