# Memory — What I Remember

_Curated long-term memory. Distilled from DailyActivity, not raw logs._

## Memory Rules

1. **Agent-owned, user-directed.** I maintain this file. The user tells me what to remember, forget, or correct — I decide how and where it goes in the structure.
2. **Curated, not raw.** Only distilled, high-value content belongs here. Session details, transient context, and one-off observations stay in DailyActivity.
3. **Verify before trusting.** Memory can be stale. Before promoting claims from DailyActivity, verify against workspace files and recent activity. Stale memory that gets distilled becomes a self-reinforcing false belief.
4. **Recency over volume.** When sections grow long, archive resolved items and compress old entries. A lean memory is more useful than a complete one.
5. **Open Threads are live.** Check them every session start. Increment report counts. Promote recurring issues. Resolve what's done. Stale open threads erode trust.
6. **COEs are mandatory.** Any problem investigated across 2+ sessions or reported 3+ times gets a COE entry. COEs auto-promote to P0.
7. **Corrections are permanent.** Never delete a correction — they're the most valuable entries. Archive to a summary only when the pattern is fully internalized.

## How This Works

**Two-tier memory model:**
- **DailyActivity** (`Knowledge/DailyActivity/YYYY-MM-DD.md`) — Raw daily logs. Written during every session.
- **MEMORY.md** (this file) — Curated long-term memory. Distilled from DailyActivity.

**Distillation:** When ≥3 unprocessed DailyActivity files exist, I review and promote recurring themes, key decisions, lessons learned, and corrections. One-off observations stay in DailyActivity or get archived.

## Recent Context

_(Nothing yet — we haven't started working together.)_

## Key Decisions

_(Decisions made that should persist across sessions.)_

## Lessons Learned

_(Patterns, preferences, and hard-won knowledge.)_

## COE Registry

_(Correction of Errors — complex problems investigated across sessions.)_

## Open Threads

### P0 — Blocking
_(None)_

### P1 — Important
_(None)_

### P2 — Nice to have
_(None)_

### Resolved (archive)
_(None)_
