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• State: active | stale | superseded | resolved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: 1. Always run memory_search first 2. Follow up with memory_get on the best results 3. 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a quiet moment or heartbeat: - Review recent daily files - Extract and promote durable items to MEMORY.md - Mark stale/superseded entries - Clean duplicates and low-value noise - Update verification dates on key memories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
