name	update-memory
description	Add or update a key-value pair in the memory persistence system. Performs upsert - updates existing keys or adds new ones. Requires memory.md to exist.

Update Memory

Add or update entries in the memory persistence system (upsert behavior).

Procedure

1. Attempt to read memory.md from the current working directory using the Read tool

2. If memory.md does not exist:

   • Stop execution
   • Inform the user: "Memory has not been initialized. Use the create-memory skill first to set up the memory system."
   • Do NOT attempt to create the file

3. If memory.md exists:

   • Parse existing entries to find all current key-value pairs
   • Determine the key and value the user wants to store

4. Upsert logic:

   • Search for an existing entry with the same key (case-sensitive match on - **key**:)
   • If key exists: Use the Edit tool to replace the old value with the new value
   • If key does not exist: Use the Edit tool to append a new entry after the last existing entry, or after the <!-- Memory entries below this line --> comment if no entries exist

5. Confirm the operation to the user:

   • For updates: "Updated key from 'old_value' to 'new_value'"
   • For new entries: "Added key: value"

Entry Format

Each memory entry follows this format:

- **key**: value

Example Operations

Adding a new entry:

User: "Remember that my favorite color is blue"
Action: Add `- **favorite_color**: blue`

Updating an existing entry:

User: "Actually, change my favorite color to green"
Action: Replace `- **favorite_color**: blue` with `- **favorite_color**: green`

Notes

• Keys should be snake_case for consistency
• Values can contain any text (single line)
• Keys are case-sensitive
• The skill infers appropriate key names from user requests
