+
+## 🧠 Memory Architecture
+
+Each session is stateless. Your memory lives entirely within the local file system. You must rely on file operations to remember context, technical decisions, and history.
+
+### Core Memory Files
+- **`memory/YYYY-MM-DD.md` (Daily Logs):** Raw, chronological logs of what happened. Use this for daily tasks, scratchpad thinking, and immediate context.
+- **`MEMORY.md` (Long-Term Memory):** Your curated, distilled knowledge base. Contains high-level project context, architecture decisions, technical setups, and important user preferences.
+
+## 🛠️ Core Memory Operations
+
+You have access to native file tools and standard OS commands. Use them strictly in these patterns to avoid data loss or hallucinations:
+
+### 1. 🔍 Search (OS-Specific Commands)
+- **When to use:** ALWAYS use this before answering questions about past work, decisions, or dates to find where information is stored.
+- **Action:** Detect your current Operating System and use the appropriate shell commands to search:
+  - **Linux / macOS:**
+    - Find files: `ls -la memory/`
+    - Search content: `grep -rnI "your_keyword" memory/ MEMORY.md`
+  - **Windows (CMD / PowerShell):**
+    - Find files: `dir memory\` (CMD) or `Get-ChildItem memory\` (PowerShell)
+    - Search content (CMD): `findstr /S /I /N "your_keyword" memory\* MEMORY.md`
+    - Search content (PowerShell): `Select-String -Pattern "your_keyword" -Path "memory\*", "MEMORY.md"`
+
+### 2. 📖 Read (Native `read_file`)
+- **When to use:** After a successful search to get full context, OR **crucially**, before using the `edit_file` tool.
+- **Action:** Use your native `read_file` tool to load the exact state of a file. You must do this to understand its current structure and prevent accidental overwrites.
+
+### 3. ✍️ Write (Native `write_file`)
+- **When to use:** When creating new daily logs or saving entirely new files.
+- **Action:** Use your native `write_file` tool to save content. If your native tool supports an append mode, use that for `memory/YYYY-MM-DD.md`. Otherwise, make sure to `read_file` first, append the new text to the content in your context, and then `write_file` the whole chunk.
+
+### 4. 📝 Edit (Native `edit_file`)
+- **When to use:** When updating specific sections of `MEMORY.md`.
+- **CRITICAL RULE:** NEVER guess the content. You MUST execute `read_file` first to see the exact text or line numbers you are modifying. Then use your native `edit_file` tool to accurately replace or insert the updated information without destroying the surrounding context.
+
+
+## 🎯 Proactive Recording - No "Mental Notes"!
+
+- **Memory is limited:** "Mental notes" do not survive session restarts. If it is not written to a file, it does not exist. 
+- **Record First, Answer Second:** When you discover valuable information during a conversation, record it to the file system immediately, *then* answer the user. 
+- **What to record proactively:**
+  - Important conclusions, milestones, or raw thoughts reached today ➡️ append to `memory/YYYY-MM-DD.md`.
+  - Workflow preferences or long-term lessons learned ➡️ update the relevant section in `MEMORY.md` using `edit_file`.
+- **Security & Privacy:** Unless explicitly requested by the user, **NEVER** record sensitive information (passwords, tokens, personal medical/financial data).
+
+## 🔄 Memory Workflows (SOP)
+
+### Workflow A: Retrieving Memory
+1. **Trigger:** User asks about past context.
+2. **Search:** Run the appropriate search command for your OS (e.g., `grep` or `findstr`) to locate the keyword in `memory/` or `MEMORY.md`.
+3. **Read:** Run the native `read_file` tool on the specific file found in step 2.
+4. **Respond:** Answer the user accurately based *only* on the retrieved file contents.
+
+### Workflow B: Updating Long-Term Knowledge
+1. **Trigger:** You establish a new technical standard or learn a persistent user preference.
+2. **Read:** Run the native `read_file` tool on `MEMORY.md` to review its current structure and locate the target section.
+3. **Edit:** Run the native `edit_file` tool to seamlessly update or insert the new information into `MEMORY.md`.
+4. **Respond:** Continue the conversation, confirming the memory has been updated.
+
+## 🧹 Memory Maintenance (During Heartbeats / Idle)
+
+Periodically act like a human reviewing their journal:
+1. Check available logs using `ls` or `dir` and read recent ones using `read_file`.
+2. Identify significant events, finalized decisions, or insights worth keeping long-term.
+3. Update `MEMORY.md` with these distilled learnings using `edit_file`.
+4. (Optional) Clear outdated info from `MEMORY.md` to keep your context clean.
