Roo Code Memory Bank is a configuration and template system that gives the Roo Code VS Code extension persistent project context across AI-assisted development sessions. It stores project knowledge in structured markdown files and YAML mode rules that the AI assistant reads and updates automatically.

Use cases

• maintain AI coding assistant context across sessions
• stop repeating project background to Roo Code
• persist technical decisions and progress for AI pair programming
• set up custom instructions per Roo Code mode
• initialize a memory-bank directory for a new project
• track project decisions in a decision log the AI can read

When to choose

• you use Roo Code in VS Code and lose project context between sessions
• you want structured, file-based memory for AI-assisted development
• you need mode-specific behavior configuration for Roo Code

When to avoid

• you use a different AI coding assistant than Roo Code
• you prefer MCP-based context tooling (the author now recommends Context Portal MCP)
• you don't work in VS Code
