+# Matrix Bot Conversation Context and Multi-Room
+
+## User Story
+
+As a developer, I want the Matrix bot to remember recent conversation history and work across multiple rooms so that conversations feel natural and different projects or teams can have their own rooms.
+
+## Background
+
+Story 174 delivers a basic Matrix bot that responds to individual messages with no memory. This story adds:
+- Per-room conversation context so the bot remembers what you were just talking about
+- Multi-room support so a single Story Kit instance can serve multiple rooms (e.g., a project room and a 1:1 DM)
+
+## Acceptance Criteria
+
+- [ ] Bot maintains a rolling conversation history per room (last N messages, configurable)
+- [ ] Conversation context is included when calling the LLM so it can reference earlier messages
+- [ ] Bot handles multiple rooms independently (configured in `bot.toml` as a list of room IDs)
+- [ ] Each room has its own independent conversation history
+- [ ] History is in-memory only — restarting the server resets context (persistence is a future concern)
+- [ ] Bot correctly attributes messages to different Matrix users in the conversation history
+
+## Out of Scope
+- Persistent conversation history across restarts
+- Per-room configuration (different LLM models, different tool access)
+- Thread-based conversations (Matrix threads)
+- User-specific context or preferences
+
+## Technical Notes
+- Store conversation history as a `HashMap<RoomId, Vec<Message>>` with a configurable max length
+- Trim oldest messages when the history exceeds the limit
+- Include Matrix display names in the message context so the LLM knows who said what
+- Depends on 174 (Matrix bot infrastructure)
