I like the memory system, in general. For reference I'm using mostly Opus 4.8 + Max effort. It will often pull things out of memory that are relevant. Like I'll ask it to come up with a few options I should consider for, say, a self-hosted OIDC provider and it'll say things like "Considering the size of your operations team, this might be a better fit because of X and Y". Now, I'll agree that this is probably the sor…

A human would probably ask clarifying questions such as "is this for the operations team at X? are they…
