Save
Turn a confirmed observation into maintained context so future work can use it. Do not claim memory unless a real file or system is updated.
Load The Context Contract
Read ../../references/context-contract.md and inspect the active project's instruction and style files before choosing a destination.
Classify The Learning
| Learning |
Preferred destination |
| Syntax, diction, tone, cadence, register, punctuation, verbal tic, or sentence-construction preference |
The governing VOICE.md |
| Argument, evidence, article structure, substantive standard, audience promise, format, or publication-readiness criterion |
The governing STYLE.md |
| Repeated editorial failure |
Relevant guardrail or review reference |
| Reusable workflow improvement |
Workflow or architecture file |
| Piece-specific decision or open loop |
The active draft, notes, or project status artifact |
Never save durable learning into an installed plugin/cache copy. Do not append lessons to a skill's SKILL.md merely because the skill was active.
If a legacy TASTE.md is still present, route new learning to VOICE.md or STYLE.md and offer migration. Do not delete or archive TASTE.md without explicit approval.
When one correction mixes sentence craft and substantive standards, split it into two atomic rules. Do not duplicate the combined rule across both files.
Decide Whether It Should Generalize
Distinguish:
- an explicit enduring preference;
- a repeated pattern supported by several examples;
- a one-off choice for this piece;
- an inference that still needs confirmation.
If the user explicitly says to save an enduring preference, proceed once the destination is clear and permitted. If the lesson is inferred, show the proposed rule and ask the user to confirm before making it durable.
Write Precisely
- Read the destination file before editing.
- Add or revise the narrowest relevant rule.
- Preserve existing user-authored context, examples, and avoid duplicate guidance.
- Record the mechanism or consequence, not only a vague preference.
- Keep examples fresh and non-copyable when the rule concerns voice.
Confirm
Report the exact rule captured and the file or system updated. If a higher-authority destination requires approval, provide the proposed wording and wait instead of pretending it was saved.
