Memory Curation

Signal-first memory workflow.

Core rule

Do not treat all context as memory. Prefer quality over volume.

Workflow

1. Collect candidate facts from recent conversation/work.
2. Score each candidate using references/promotion-rubric.md.
3. Route each candidate:

• Durable + behavior-changing → MEMORY.md
• Session/day context → daily memory file
• Low-signal/noise → skip

4. Write concise bullets using references/write-templates.md.
5. De-duplicate against recent entries before writing.

Hard guardrails

• Never store secrets, API keys, or sensitive credentials.
• Avoid personal/private details unless explicitly required by the user.
• Prefer one precise bullet over multiple vague bullets.
• If uncertain, keep in daily memory first; promote later if it recurs.

Promotion defaults

Promote when at least one is true:

• explicit remember intent
• standing policy/guardrail
• stable preference (likely 30+ days)
• canonical tooling/path/routing correction
• recurring operating rule

Completion behavior

When running silent checkpoint workflows, end with exactly NO_REPLY.
