Memory

Circuit learns from what you ship. The longer you use it, the sharper it gets.

How Memory Works

Every time the team ships a brief or corrects a classification, Circuit records it. Over time, these records form a picture of how the team makes decisions: which themes get prioritised, which customer segments matter most and how specs are structured.

This isn't configuration. It happens automatically as the team works.

Ship Memories

When you mark a brief as shipped, Circuit writes a memory. It records:

  • Theme of the shipped feature
  • Volume of feedback at time of ship
  • Customer segment that drove the priority

These memories accumulate. After a few ships, patterns emerge.

Classification Corrections

Correct a category on a priority and Circuit remembers. The correction applies to future feedback on the same theme. Even when new feedback arrives, the corrected category sticks.

This means less time fixing classifications and more time building. The system adapts to how the team thinks about its product.

What Briefs Remember

After a few ships, briefs show what Circuit remembers: previous ships, corrections and related context. If the team has shipped something similar before, the brief surfaces it.

This helps avoid duplicate work and gives the builder context on past decisions.

What Circuit Knows

Go to Settings → Account to see what Circuit has learned: ship count, category breakdown (e.g. Bug 65%, Feature 23%) and any classification corrections. This data is used automatically to improve briefs and priority scoring.

Blind Spot Detection

After 3 or more ships with a strong segment bias, a challenge banner appears at the top of the Priorities page. For example: "You've been focused on Enterprise. 4 SMB items are waiting." Dismiss it and it reappears after 7 days.

Shipping History on Priorities

Priorities flag when they match your shipping history. If a priority aligns with themes the team has shipped before, it's marked. This gives a quick signal: has the team seen this pattern before?

Memory in MCP

Memory enriches the MCP tools too. When pulling priorities or briefs from Cursor or Claude Code:

  • Priorities flag when they match your shipping history
  • Briefs include past context from related ships

Ask your coding tool: "Have we shipped anything like this before?" to surface memory directly.

The Compounding Effect

Each ship makes the next cycle sharper. Priorities align closer to how the team actually makes decisions. Briefs reference what's been built before. Classifications get it right the first time.

The loop tightens with every cycle.
