# Using Honcho as Memory

Understand how a lasting memory of the user is meant to work

## What this does

You want your agent to hold on to what it knows about a person, and before you wire anything up you need to understand the idea. This is the starting point: the recall and record loop, and how to think about sessions and peers. It also points you to the right way to connect, depending on what you are working in.

### Top 3 things it does for you

- Learn how the recall and record loop works
- Decide how to lay out sessions and peers
- Pick the right way to connect to it

## About Using Honcho as Memory

This is the concepts and strategy layer for using a connected Honcho as a persistent memory of the user: the recall and record loop, and how sessions and peers are designed.

It is meant to be read first, to understand how the memory works, and then to point you onward to connecting - through a first-class integration for your environment where one exists, which is preferred, or through raw MCP tools, covered here, or through the CLI skill.

For embedding the SDK into a codebase, it hands off to the integration skill instead.
