Memory Tiering Skill 🧠⚖️
This skill implements a dynamic, three-tiered memory architecture to optimize context usage and retrieval efficiency.
The Three Tiers
- 🔥 HOT (memory/hot/HOT_MEMORY.md):
- Focus: Current session context, active tasks, temporary credentials, immediate goals.
- Management: Updated frequently. Pruned aggressively once tasks are completed.
- 🌡️ WARM (memory/warm/WARM_MEMORY.md):
- Focus: User preferences (Hui's style, timezone), core system inventory, stable configurations, recurring interests.
- Management: Updated when preferences change or new stable tools are added.
- ❄️ COLD (MEMORY.md):
- Focus: Long-term archive, historical decisions, project milestones, distilled lessons.
- Management: Updated during archival phases. Detail is replaced by summaries.
Workflow: Organize-Memory
Whenever a memory reorganization is triggered (manual or post-compaction), follow these steps:
Step 1: Ingest & Audit
- Read all three tiers and recent daily logs (
memory/YYYY-MM-DD.md).
- Identify "Dead Context" (completed tasks, resolved bugs).
Step 2: Tier Redistribution
- Move to HOT: Anything requiring immediate attention in the next 2-3 turns.
- Move to WARM: New facts about the user or system that are permanent.
- Move to COLD: Completed high-level project summaries.
Step 3: Pruning & Summarization
- Remove granular details from COLD.
- Ensure credentials in HOT point to their root files rather than storing raw secrets (if possible).
Step 4: Verification
- Ensure no critical information was lost during the move.
- Verify that
HOT is now small enough for efficient context use.
Usage Trigger
- Trigger manually with: "Run memory tiering" or "整理记忆层级".
- Trigger automatically after any
/compact command.
