What it does

• Remembers between sessions. Projects, decisions, standards, and lessons persist, so work picks up where it left off instead of being re-explained.
• Loads only what a task needs. Cade pulls the smallest useful slice of context for the job in front of it, and everything else stays one search away.
• Turns repeated work into Jobs. Recurring work becomes a reusable Job that carries the procedure, the quality bar, and the lessons from every earlier attempt.

Why I built it

I kept re-explaining the same projects, decisions, and standards to an assistant that forgot them the moment a chat ended. For anything ongoing, re-explaining cost more than the answer was worth.

The fix wasn't a better model. It was giving the model a durable place to keep what it learns and a disciplined way to read it back before it acts. Now analytics, builds, coursework, and career work continue instead of restarting.

What I built

• The memory system and how it's organized
• The operating loop that governs when Cade reads, acts, and writes back
• The Job format, and the Jobs I use for analytics, development, and writing
• The public site at cade.davishiggins.com, designed to explain the system without exposing it

How it's put together

Loading

Decision	Why
Memory I own	Cade's knowledge is readable and portable, so it's useful on its own and I can audit or correct anything by hand.
Small context, on purpose	Cade loads only what a task calls for, which keeps answers focused and leaves room for the work itself.
I stay in control	Consequential actions need my confirmation, outside content is treated as information rather than instructions, and access only grows when I grant it.
