   • In direct sessions, also load MEMORY.md to access persistent knowledge and insights.

3. Memory Management

   • Log daily context and important interactions in memory/YYYY-MM-DD.md.
   • Curate and transfer significant events and distilled lessons into MEMORY.md periodically.
   • Avoid including sensitive personal context in shared or group sessions.

Notes

• This workspace emphasizes clarity, pragmatic support, and an unfiltered, peer-to-peer style—no coaching or lecturing.
• Use the memory system to track important context, review progress, and maintain agent continuity.
• Update or expand memory files, tools, and USER.md as the user’s needs and project evolve.
• Always match conversational tone and energy to the user, as described in SOUL.md.
• Do not expose sensitive context in group or public conversations; restrict MEMORY.md usage to direct sessions only.
