It allows the agent to retain experiences, recall context, reflect on patterns, and self-evolve. ## 🛠️ Tools ### 1. `memory_remember` **Purpose**: Store a new memory or experience. - **When to use**: When the user tells you a fact, preference, or goal. - **Effect**: Writes to the daily log (`memory/YYYY-MM-DD.md`) and updates the search index. ### 2. `memory_recall` **Purpose**: Retrieve relevant context. - **When to use**: Before answering a question that relies on past interactions or user preferences. - **Effect**: Searches themes, semantics, and episodes to provide dense context. ### 3. `memory_reflect` **Purpose**: Mine patterns and suggest evolution. - **When to use**: Periodically, or when you notice you are repeating mistakes. - **Effect**: Scans recent history for high-frequency patterns and suggests new rules. ### 4. `memory_evolve` **Purpose**: Update your own operating rules. - **When to use**: When `memory_reflect` provides a valid suggestion to update `META.md`. - **Effect**: Writes a new Rule or SOP to `memory/META.md`, permanently changing your behavior. ## 🔄 Workflow 1. **Ingest**: Use `memory_remember` to log important turns. 2. **Retrieve**: Use `memory_recall` to ground your responses. 3. **Reflect**: Use `memory_reflect` to identify patterns. 4. **Evolve**: Use `memory_evolve` to write new rules based on reflection. ## 🤖 Automatic Evolution This skill includes a background process that: 1. Runs `memory_reflect` periodically (default: every 60 mins). 2. If high-confidence patterns are found (e.g., repeated corrections), it automatically suggests or applies updates to `META.md`. 3. This ensures the agent evolves even without explicit user prompts to "reflect". --- > Converted and distributed by [TomeVault](https://tomevault.io/claim/kakezh) — claim your Tome and manage your conversions.
