Feature Request: Per-Directory Context-Aware Memory Loading

🧠 Feature Request: Per-Directory Context-Aware Memory Loading

Summary:
When I change into a folder with Roo (e.g., cd ~/dev/project1), I want Roo to:

1. Check for a .roo-memory.json (or similar file)
2. Automatically load it into the assistant’s context
3. On shutdown or manual trigger, export updated memory back to that file

This would allow project-specific memory to persist across sessions and align with the natural structure of dev environments.

✨ Benefits

• Maintain project-specific assistant awareness (context, decisions, terminology)
• Simplify project switching without manual memory imports/exports
• Makes Roo feel more like a directory-aware developer agent

---

📦 Suggested Implementation (Conceptual)

• On Roo start: check pwd for .roo-memory.json
• If exists: auto-import into memory
• On command (e.g., roo memory save) or session end: export memory back
• Optional: .roo-config.json for metadata (models, toolchain, project goals)

---

🧠 Why This Matters

This would be similar to how git behaves per repo. Memory should feel contextually local to where I’m working, especially for multi-agent dev workflows.

Thanks! Loving Roo so far — this would make it feel even more like a true assistant per project.
