Unlike cloud AI services like Claude or Gemini, local LLMs lack built-in workspace features for persistent memory. You can bridge this gap using "context journaling" via system prompts and RAG.
* LM Studio presets for concise system prompts.
* RAG document uploads for background/project history.
* Markdown journal structure (Background, Projects, Corrections).
* “Corrections” section to prevent recurring model errors.
* Session exports for prompt effectiveness records.
