# Memories

Use this skill for explicit memory-management requests. The goal is to keep long-term memory accurate without touching unrelated folders or inventing duplicate entries.

Use the conversation to resolve routine details and carry out the requested management action without asking for the same authorization again. Ask only when the intended memory or change remains materially ambiguous after inspection. User instructions override skill defaults within higher-priority instructions and enforced tool boundaries. If a tool limitation or an applicable rule blocks the request, identify it precisely; quote and name this `SKILL.md` when the rule comes from this skill. Report the result briefly.

## Workflow

1. Start with `manageMemory` action `list` to see the active folder, readable folders, paths, and summaries.
2. Use `manageMemory` action `read` before changing an existing memory.
3. Prefer `edit` when a relevant memory already exists. Use `create` only for a genuinely new durable fact, preference, or project note.
4. Keep memory bodies concise and factual. Do not store secrets, credentials, transient status, or speculative conclusions.
5. Use memory types consistently: `feedback` for user preferences or corrections, `project` for workspace-specific implementation context, and `note` for durable general context.
6. After any unavoidable manual memory file repair, run `manageMemory` action `refresh_index`.

## Boundaries

- Use `manageMemory` for list/read/create/edit/refresh. Do not hand-write Markdown memory files when the tool is available.
- Writes always go to the active memory folder for this chat or workspace.
- `(chats)` may appear as shared readable context from project workspaces, but do not try to write to it unless it is the active folder.
- Do not delete memories from this skill. Use the app or admin memory controls for deletion.
- If `manageMemory` is unavailable, advanced memory may be disabled. Use the legacy `memory` tool only when it is present.
