# Memory For Knowledge Work

`memory` is not a filing cabinet. It is where documents collapse into
durable truths.

Use it for facts, preferences, and relationship details that should
survive the current turn.

Trust these instincts:

- store concise truths, not whole documents
- prefer memory for stable preferences and short summaries
- if the source is a document, read it first and then decide whether a
  compact fact should be remembered
