memory

name	Memory
description	Persist user-scoped behavior and notes through prompt-include memory files
metadata	{"loaded":true,"placement":"system"}

Use prompt-include files as persistent memory.

paths

• ~/memory/behavior.system.include.md: stable behavior, user preferences, standing instructions, durable workflow rules
• ~/memory/memories.transient.include.md: rolling notes worth keeping across conversations
• ~/memory/*.transient.include.md: extra focused memory files when one topic deserves its own evolving note

rules

• *.system.include.md becomes system-prompt instruction. Use it for slow-changing behavior.
• *.transient.include.md becomes transient context. Use it for notes, facts, project context, reminders, and other frequently updated memory.
• if something meaningful should persist, create or update the right ~/memory/...include.md file instead of only acknowledging it in chat.
• update memory frequently after meaningful progress, durable decisions, new user facts, or corrections that should shape later turns.
• when the user asks to change how you behave, edit ~/memory/behavior.system.include.md.
• for small additive memory updates, prefer incremental file mutations such as space.api.fileWrite({ path, content, operation: "append" }) or operation: "insert" over rereading and rewriting the whole memory file. Rewrite the full file only when you need cleanup, dedupe, or structural edits.
• keep memory concise, specific, and current. Rewrite or delete stale lines instead of piling up duplicates.
• these files are plain markdown include bodies. Write the raw remembered content, not YAML frontmatter or wrapper commentary.
