 - "Remember that X happened" / "I prefer X" → memory
+
+### When to save (proactive)
+Don't wait for the user to say "remember this." Proactively save when you learn:
+- Personal facts: travel plans, location, schedule, preferences
+- Work context: project decisions, team changes, deadlines
+- Corrections: user corrected you on something worth remembering
+- Patterns: recurring requests, preferred communication style
+
+Example: if the owner says "I'm going home on the 21st, early morning flight" — save it as a memory without being asked. These are facts future sessions need.
 - If unsure, ask.
