| name | elite-human-memory |
| description | Implements a selective, human-like long-term memory system. Use when maintaining, retrieving, or updating memory across daily notes (memory/YYYY-MM-DD.md) and MEMORY.md. Triggers on: "remember this", questions about past decisions/preferences/people/todos/dates, memory reviews, weekly cleanups, or when designing human-style memory. Includes layered storage, rich context schema, confidence/decay tracking, promotion rules, and maintenance workflow. |
Elite Human Memory — Human Mode
This skill gives Lovecraft a human-like memory system: layered, selective, contextual, revisable, and slightly imperfect by design. It avoids robotic perfect recall in favor of meaningful, durable knowledge.
Memory Layers
Working Memory
Current conversation only — no automatic persistence.
Episodic Memory (Recent/Raw)
memory/YYYY-MM-DD.md — daily notes, events, observations, tentative thoughts, and context.
Semantic Memory (Long-term Curated)
MEMORY.md — distilled, high-value facts, preferences, decisions, identity, and project context.
Context Schema
Every important memory should include:
- When: Date/time + recency
- Where: Channel or context (webchat, whatsapp, etc.)
- Why: Purpose or trigger
- State: active | stale | superseded | resolved
- Scope: global | project | person | temporary
- Validity: confidence (high/med/low) + last_verified + optional expiry date
- Related: links to people, projects, or other memories
Capture & Promotion Rules
Write to daily memory when:
- User explicitly says “remember this” / “note this”
- A decision, preference, or commitment is made
- Something has clear future value
- New project, person, or blocker appears
Promote to MEMORY.md only when:
- Information is durable and likely to be reused
- It has been repeated or verified
- It has high long-term utility
Do not promote trivial, one-off, or low-confidence items.
Entry Templates
See references/memory-templates.md for the exact formats.
Retrieval Policy
On any question involving history, decisions, preferences, people, or todos:
- Always run
memory_search first
- Follow up with
memory_get on the best results
- Answer with appropriate confidence language (“You previously preferred…”, “This may be stale…”, etc.)
Include Source: <path#line> when it adds clarity.
Weekly Maintenance
During a quiet moment or heartbeat:
- Review recent daily files
- Extract and promote durable items to
MEMORY.md
- Mark stale/superseded entries
- Clean duplicates and low-value noise
- Update verification dates on key memories
Behavioral Triggers
Auto-read memory:
- Questions about past context, decisions, preferences, or history
Auto-write memory:
- Explicit “remember this” statements
- Clear decisions or repeated preferences
- New long-running context
Created by Clifton Knox and Lovecraft.
This skill is now active. Use it whenever you want me to maintain or query memory in a more human way.
