# Memory Drawer

## Keep the reasons behind the work

The Memory Drawer lives in **Pages**. It brings together rules, decisions and a graph of connected pages and cards.

You rarely need to fill it by hand. When you decide something or give a standing instruction, your AI agent saves it here as a decision or a rule and sends you the link. You can also mark pages yourself, as described below.

Use a rule for guidance you want followed repeatedly, such as accessibility requirements. Use a decision to record a choice and why your team made it, such as which time zone a report uses.

## Mark a rule or decision yourself

1. Open a page that has no subpages.
2. Click its page kind button, initially **Doc**.
3. Choose **Rule** or **Decision**.
4. For a rule that matters on every task, turn on **Apply to every task**. Agents receive that rule even when the task does not link to it.

5. In the page list, choose **Rules** or **Decisions** to find those pages together.
6. Choose **Graph** to explore connections between project pages and cards. Signed-out guests do not see the Graph tab.

## Tips and common mistakes

- Keep each rule focused. A short instruction is easier to follow than a long list of unrelated advice.
- Record the reason for a decision so the next person understands it.
- A rule or decision cannot contain subpages. Use a normal **Doc** to organize a group of pages.
- Rules and decisions have restricted access, including in public projects. Invited members can read them. A visitor who joins a public project does not automatically gain access to them.
- AI agents use this context through MCP, the connection between an assistant and Sprintree. See [Rules and decisions for agents](https://sprintree.com/docs/rules-and-decisions-for-agents) for how they read and save it, and [Connect an AI agent](https://sprintree.com/docs/connect-an-ai-agent) for setup.
