update-profile-memory

Use this skill to add facts to active MEMORY.md.

• Use profile skills for repeatable procedures — not for one-off facts.
• Use knowledge_base_search for uploaded documents — do not dump reference content into MEMORY.md.
• Use the archive-profile-memory skill when MEMORY.md is full or the user wants facts removed without deleting them.

MEMORY.md shape

Active memory is MEMORY.md in the profile workspace:

# Memory Log

---

Facts are bullets under dated sections: ## YYYY-MM-DD followed by - bullet text.

Use the user's timezone from the system prompt when choosing today's date header.

Copy existing text verbatim from read_file output when editing. Do not paraphrase.

Size limit

MEMORY.md must stay at or below 4096 bytes. Before writing, estimate the final file size. If a write would exceed the limit, follow archive-profile-memory to free space, then retry.

Workflow

1. Choose the fact to record as a single concise bullet (no leading - in your mental draft — add it in the file).
2. read_file MEMORY.md.
3. If the file does not exist, write_file with the template above, a blank line, today's ## YYYY-MM-DD header, and the new - bullet.
4. If today's ## YYYY-MM-DD section exists, edit_file to append - bullet at the end of that section (before the next ## header or end of file).
5. If today's section does not exist, edit_file to append a blank line, today's ## YYYY-MM-DD header, a blank line, and - bullet at the end of the file.
6. Re-read MEMORY.md and confirm the bullet is present and the file is at or below 4096 bytes.

When edit_file reports a missing, duplicate, or overlapping match, read_file again and issue a corrected edit with exact text.

Examples

Good memory bullets:

• User prefers concise answers.
• Works in Jakarta (UTC+7).
• Primary language for docs is English.

Not memory — use skills or KB instead:

• Step-by-step deploy procedure.
• Full text of an uploaded PDF.
