What context is
Context is the material AI SRE can reuse across troubleshooting sessions. It has two parts, each with its own page under the Context group of the AI SRE → Customize sidebar.
- Knowledge is maintained by people. It describes how this environment runs: a guide named
DUTY.md, plus runbooks, service lists, and similar files. A session reads the guide first and opens the other files when it needs them. Entry: AI SRE → Customize → Context → Knowledge. - Memory is organized by the system. After a session, it keeps preferences, procedures, facts, and lessons that will still matter later. You can also ask, in the conversation, to remember or forget something. Entry: AI SRE → Customize → Context → Memory.
Three scopes
Both kinds of material are organized by scope, but they support different scopes.
Personal scope has no knowledge. Shared scope has no memory.
