Persistent instructions let you inject text into goose's working memory every turn. Unlike [`.goosehints`](/docs/guides/context-engineering/using-goosehints) which are loaded once at session start, persistent instructions are re-read and injected fresh with every interaction. This makes them ideal for behavioral guardrails that must always be enforced, regardless of how the conversation evolves.
Persistent instructions let you inject text into goose's working memory every turn. Unlike [`.goosehints`](/docs/guides/context-engineering/using-goosehints), which are loaded at session start and can expand later when goose discovers nested hint files, persistent instructions are re-read and injected fresh with every interaction. This makes them ideal for behavioral guardrails that must always be enforced, regardless of how the conversation evolves.
