## Retrieve

`projects.instructions.retrieve(strproject_id)  -> InstructionRetrieveResponse`

**get** `/projects/{projectId}/instructions`

Get the project's assistant instructions (markdown). Returns 404 if not set. Any project member can read.

### Parameters

- `project_id: str`

### Returns

- `class InstructionRetrieveResponse: …`

  - `memory: Memory`

    Public JSON shape returned by GET endpoints

    - `id: str`

      The memory ID — deterministic from scope + parent IDs (example: "mem_team_team_abc")

    - `content: str`

      Markdown content of the memory

    - `created_at: str`

      ISO 8601 timestamp when the memory was first written

    - `size_bytes: float`

      UTF-8 byte length of the content — used for quota enforcement

    - `updated_by: str`

      The userId of the last writer — useful for audit/UI

### Example

```python
import os
from scenario_sdk import Scenario

client = Scenario(
    api_key=os.environ.get("SCENARIO_SDK_API_KEY"),  # This is the default and can be omitted
    api_secret=os.environ.get("SCENARIO_SDK_API_SECRET"),  # This is the default and can be omitted
)
instruction = client.projects.instructions.retrieve(
    "projectId",
)
print(instruction.memory)
```
