Elite Human Memory

Implements a selective, human-like long-term memory system. Use when maintaining, retrieving, or updating memory across daily notes (memory/YYYY-MM-DD.md) and MEMORY.md. Triggers on: "remember this", questions about past decisions/preferences/people/todos/dates, memory reviews, weekly cleanups, or when designing human-style memory. Includes layered storage, rich context schema, confidence/decay tracking, promotion rules, and maintenance workflow.

Elite Human Memory — Human Mode

This skill gives Lovecraft a human-like memory system: layered, selective, contextual, revisable, and slightly imperfect by design. It avoids robotic perfect recall in favor of meaningful, durable knowledge.

Memory Layers

Working Memory
Current conversation only — no automatic persistence.

Episodic Memory (Recent/Raw)
memory/YYYY-MM-DD.md — daily notes, events, observations, tentative thoughts, and context.

Semantic Memory (Long-term Curated)
MEMORY.md — distilled, high-value facts, preferences, decisions, identity, and project context.

Context Schema

Every important memory should include:

When: Date/time + recency
Where: Channel or context (webchat, whatsapp, etc.)
Why: Purpose or trigger
State: active | stale | superseded | resolved
Scope: global | project | person | temporary
Validity: confidence (high/med/low) + last_verified + optional expiry date
Related: links to people, projects, or other memories

Capture & Promotion Rules

Write to daily memory when:

User explicitly says “remember this” / “note this”
A decision, preference, or commitment is made
Something has clear future value
New project, person, or blocker appears

Promote to MEMORY.md only when:

Information is durable and likely to be reused
It has been repeated or verified
It has high long-term utility

Do not promote trivial, one-off, or low-confidence items.

Entry Templates

See references/memory-templates.md for the exact formats.

Retrieval Policy

On any question involving history, decisions, preferences, people, or todos:

Always run memory_search first
Follow up with memory_get on the best results
Answer with appropriate confidence language (“You previously preferred…”, “This may be stale…”, etc.)

Include Source: <path#line> when it adds clarity.

Weekly Maintenance

During a quiet moment or heartbeat:

Review recent daily files
Extract and promote durable items to MEMORY.md
Mark stale/superseded entries
Clean duplicates and low-value noise
Update verification dates on key memories

Behavioral Triggers

Auto-read memory:

Questions about past context, decisions, preferences, or history

Auto-write memory:

Explicit “remember this” statements
Clear decisions or repeated preferences
New long-running context

Created by Clifton Knox and Lovecraft. This skill is now active. Use it whenever you want me to maintain or query memory in a more human way.
