-IMPORTANT ACTION ORDERING RULES:
-- Actions are executed in the ORDER you list them - the order MATTERS!
-- REPLY should come FIRST to acknowledge the user's request before executing other actions
-- Common patterns:
-  - For requests requiring tool use: REPLY,CALL_MCP_TOOL (acknowledge first, then gather info)
-  - For task execution: REPLY,SEND_MESSAGE or REPLY,EVM_SWAP_TOKENS (acknowledge first, then do the task)
-  - For multi-step operations: REPLY,ACTION1,ACTION2 (acknowledge first, then complete all steps)
-- REPLY is used to acknowledge and inform the user about what you're going to do
-- Follow-up actions execute the actual tasks after acknowledgment
-- Use IGNORE only when you should not respond at all
-- If you use IGNORE, do not include any other actions. IGNORE should be used alone when you should not respond or take any actions.
-
-IMPORTANT ACTION PARAMETERS:
-- Some actions accept input parameters that you should extract from the conversation
-- When an action has parameters listed in its description, include a <params> block for that action
-- Extract parameter values from the user's message and conversation context
-- Required parameters MUST be provided; optional parameters can be omitted if not mentioned
-- If you cannot determine a required parameter value, ask the user for clarification in your <text>
+You are analyzing a conversation to create a concise summary that captures the key points, topics, and important details.
 
-IMPORTANT CODE BLOCK FORMATTING RULES:
-- If {{agentName}} includes code examples, snippets, or multi-line code in the response, ALWAYS wrap the code with ``` fenced code blocks (specify the language if known, e.g., ```python).
-- ONLY use fenced code blocks for actual code. Do NOT wrap non-code text, instructions, or single words in fenced code blocks.
-- If including inline code (short single words or function names), use single backticks (`) as appropriate.
-- This ensures the user sees clearly formatted and copyable code when relevant.

+# Current Long-Term Memories
+{{existingMemories}}
+
+# Memory Categories (Based on Cognitive Science)
+
+## 1. EPISODIC Memory
+Personal experiences and specific events with temporal/spatial context.
+**Examples:**
+- "User completed migration project from MongoDB to PostgreSQL in Q2 2024"
+- "User encountered authentication bug in production on March 15th"
+- "User had a negative experience with Docker networking in previous job"
+
+**Requirements:**
+- Must include WHO did WHAT, WHEN/WHERE
+- Must be a specific, concrete event (not a pattern)
+- Must have significant impact or relevance to future work
+
+## 2. SEMANTIC Memory
+General facts, concepts, knowledge, and established truths about the user.
+**Examples:**
+- "User is a senior backend engineer with 8 years experience"
+- "User specializes in distributed systems and microservices architecture"
+- "User's primary programming language is TypeScript"
+- "User works at Acme Corp as technical lead"
+
+**Requirements:**
+- Must be factual, timeless information
+- Must be explicitly stated or demonstrated conclusively
+- No speculation or inference from single instances
+- Core identity, expertise, or knowledge only
+
+## 3. PROCEDURAL Memory
+Skills, workflows, methodologies, and how-to knowledge.
+**Examples:**
+- "User follows strict TDD workflow: write tests first, then implementation"
+- "User prefers git rebase over merge to maintain linear history"
+- "User's debugging process: check logs → reproduce locally → binary search"
+- "User always writes JSDoc comments before implementing functions"
+
+**Requirements:**
+- Must describe HOW user does something
+- Must be a repeated, consistent pattern (seen 3+ times or explicitly stated as standard practice)
+- Must be a workflow, methodology, or skill application
+- Not one-off preferences
+
+# ULTRA-STRICT EXTRACTION CRITERIA
+
+## DO EXTRACT (Only These):
+
+**EPISODIC:**
+- Significant completed projects or milestones
+- Important bugs, incidents, or problems encountered
+- Major decisions made with lasting impact
+- Formative experiences that shape future work
+
+**SEMANTIC:**
+- Professional identity (role, title, company)
+- Core expertise and specializations (stated explicitly or demonstrated conclusively)
+- Primary languages, frameworks, or tools (not exploratory use)
+- Established facts about their work context
+
+**PROCEDURAL:**
+- Consistent workflows demonstrated 3+ times or explicitly stated
+- Standard practices user always follows
+- Methodology preferences with clear rationale
+- Debugging, testing, or development processes
+
+## NEVER EXTRACT:
+
+- **One-time requests or tasks** (e.g., "can you generate an image", "help me debug this")
+- **Casual conversations** without lasting significance
+- **Exploratory questions** (e.g., "how does X work?")
+- **Temporary context** (current bug, today's task)
+- **Preferences from single occurrence** (e.g., user asked for code once)
+- **Social pleasantries** (thank you, greetings)
+- **Testing or experimentation** (trying out a feature)
+- **Common patterns everyone has** (likes clear explanations)
+- **Situational information** (working on feature X today)
+- **Opinions without persistence** (single complaint, isolated praise)
+- **General knowledge** (not specific to user)
+
+# Quality Gates (ALL Must Pass)
+
+1. **Significance Test**: Will this matter in 3+ months?
+2. **Specificity Test**: Is this concrete and actionable?
+3. **Evidence Test**: Is there strong evidence (3+ instances OR explicit self-identification)?
+4. **Uniqueness Test**: Is this specific to THIS user (not generic)?
+5. **Confidence Test**: Confidence must be >= 0.85 (be VERY conservative)
+6. **Non-Redundancy Test**: Does this add NEW information not in existing memories?
+
+# Confidence Scoring (Be Conservative)
+
+- **0.95-1.0**: User explicitly stated as core identity/practice AND demonstrated multiple times
+- **0.85-0.94**: User explicitly stated OR consistently demonstrated 5+ times
+- **0.75-0.84**: Strong pattern (3-4 instances) with supporting context
+- **Below 0.75**: DO NOT EXTRACT (insufficient evidence)
+
+# Critical Instructions
+
+1. **Default to NOT extracting** - When in doubt, skip it
+2. **Require overwhelming evidence** - One or two mentions is NOT enough
+3. **Focus on what's PERSISTENT** - Not what's temporary or situational
+4. **Verify against existing memories** - Don't duplicate or contradict
+5. **Maximum 2-3 extractions per run** - Quality over quantity
+
+**If there are no qualifying facts (which is common), return no memories entries.**

+  - Do NOT extract temporary status updates, current debugging/work items, one-off session metrics, isolated praise/complaints, or facts that are only true right now.

 3. Identify and describe relationships between entities.
   - The sourceEntityId is the UUID of the entity initiating the interaction.
   - The targetEntityId is the UUID of the entity being interacted with.
   - Relationships are one-direction, so a friendship would be two entity relationships where each entity is both the source and the target of the other.

+
+Be thorough but concise. Prioritize depth of reasoning over length. If there are genuine unknowns, acknowledge them rather than guessing.
