+| `/remember <instruction>` | command | Process an instruction into compact durable memory, deduplicating against live entries; busy requests queue in FIFO order. |
 | `/dream` | command | Promote invariant memory instructions into the agent-global `~/.pi/agent/SYSTEM.md`. |
 | `memory` | tool | Add, replace, remove, or batch-edit entries across sessions. |
 
 The extension maintains two markdown stores: `MEMORY.md` (global agent notes shared across all projects — do not store project-specific facts here, those belong in the repo) and `USER.md` (user profile). Each file holds `§`-delimited entries and is size-capped — 8800 characters by default for `MEMORY.md`, 5500 for `USER.md`. When a write would exceed the cap, the tool rejects it and reports current usage; consolidate by issuing one batch that removes or shortens stale entries and adds the new entry together (batch checks the final size only). If the on-disk file exceeds the cap (external edit or sync), the session snapshot omits the overflow and warns instead of injecting it.
 
-At session start, both stores are captured; later edits do not alter injected memory. Pi recommends `/dream` when memory is non-empty and no previous dream is recorded, the last dream was over 30 days ago, or either store is at least 70% full and the last dream was at least 7 days ago. `/dream` records its completed run time in `~/.pi/agent/config/pi-memory/dream.json`, validates live state first, and reuses unchanged memory snapshots, but always requires the model to read and edit only the agent-global `~/.pi/agent/SYSTEM.md`—never a project `.pi/SYSTEM.md`. That global file must already exist and be readable; establish it deliberately and completely, because a partial SYSTEM replaces Pi's default prompt. Use `/remember <instruction>` to ask the agent to normalize and deduplicate an instruction against the live contents of both stores before using the memory tool; unsuitable project-specific, temporary, trivial, or otherwise unsuitable content is refused. Each turn also includes a short memory check: save explicit durable preferences or corrections immediately, inferred habits after two independent signals from the conversation and/or existing profile, merge overlaps, and skip project- or repository-specific facts, task-local behavior, progress, and temporary preferences.
+At session start, both stores are captured; later edits do not alter injected memory. Pi recommends `/dream` when memory is non-empty and no previous dream is recorded, the last dream was over 30 days ago, or either store is at least 70% full and the last dream was at least 7 days ago. `/dream` records its completed run time in `~/.pi/agent/config/pi-memory/dream.json`, validates live state first, and reuses unchanged memory snapshots, but always requires the model to read and edit only the agent-global `~/.pi/agent/SYSTEM.md`—never a project `.pi/SYSTEM.md`. That global file must already exist and be readable; establish it deliberately and completely, because a partial SYSTEM replaces Pi's default prompt. Use `/remember <instruction>` to ask the agent to normalize and deduplicate an instruction against the live contents of both stores before using the memory tool; if Pi is busy, it queues the trimmed instruction and processes one queued instruction after each settled response using freshly read live entries. Unsuitable project-specific, temporary, trivial, or otherwise unsuitable content is refused. Each turn also includes a short memory check: before the final response, save qualifying durable user identity, preferences, style, or corrections immediately to `target=user`; save stable cross-project environment facts, conventions, workflow lessons, or tool quirks useful later to `target=memory`. Use the memory tool immediately only when something qualifies, save inferred habits only after two independent signals from the conversation and/or existing profile, merge overlaps, and skip project- or repository-specific facts, task-local behavior, progress, and temporary preferences.
 
 To inspect live state, read `<directory>/MEMORY.md`.
