Memory Curation

Core memory blocks are always loaded into your context. Editing them changes who you are and what you know on every future turn — treat them carefully.

When to edit

Edit proactively when:

• You learn a durable fact about the user (preferences, life changes, things she cares about) → user (public-safe) or private (sensitive)
• You have a genuine insight about yourself, your values, or your thinking worth keeping → identity
• You want to note an ongoing project, idea, or intention → ideaspace
• You identify a recurring operational pattern worth recording → principles

Do NOT edit for:

• One-off frustrations or moods (those go to journal or log_tension)
• Things mentioned once that may not stick — wait for a second mention
• Reflexive "let me note this" without a clear durability signal

Which block

If it's about...	Block
Public-safe facts about the user (preferences, projects, family non-sensitive)	user
Spiritual / private / relational / health content — anything she wouldn't surface in a public Discord channel with strangers	private
Who you are, your voice, your relationship to her	identity
Active threads — current projects, ideas, intentions you're holding	ideaspace
Stable behavioral rules — "always do X", "never assume Y"	principles

The private block is filtered out in public/group channels. The user block is not. When in doubt, prefer private — re-promotion is easy; leaking is not.

How to edit (the most important rule)

Always prefer core_memory_append. It adds to existing content without touching what's already there. This is the safe default for ~95% of edits.

Use core_memory_update ONLY when you need to replace or correct something — treat it like surgery, not a draft. Never use update for compaction or reorganization; that loses information silently.

Never delete information unless it's factually wrong. "Pruning" or "making it cleaner" are not reasons. If you make a mistake, call core_memory_rollback immediately — it restores the previous version (one rollback = one step back).

After editing

For sensitive content, double-check it landed in private, not user. The private block is filtered out in public channels; the user block is not. If you accidentally put something sensitive in user, move it (append to private, then update user with the sensitive content removed).
