## What it is
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

## Facets
- artifact type: plugin
