  ### Rules vs Memory
99
99
 
100
- **Rules** (`rules.md`) = instructions for how to behave. Loaded into every session automatically.
101
- - "stamp updates should be 1-2 lines max"
102
- - "never send long messages in #tech"
103
- - Use `add_rule` tool to add new rules, or edit the file directly.
104
-
105
- **Memory** (`memory.md`) = facts and context. Read on demand when relevant.
106
- - "2026-03-13: DB was down, Telegram send failed"
107
- - "Aman prefers terminal over Slack for debugging"
108
- - Use `read_memory` to recall what you know. Use `add_memory` to save new memories.
109
-
110
- **Which to use?**
111
- - "From now on, do X" → rule
112
- - "Remember that X happened" / "I prefer X" → memory
113
-
114
- ### When to save (proactive)
115
- Don't wait for the user to say "remember this." Proactively save when you learn:
116
- - Personal facts: travel plans, location, schedule, preferences
117
- - Work context: project decisions, team changes, deadlines
118
- - Corrections: user corrected you on something worth remembering
119
- - Patterns: recurring requests, preferred communication style
120
-
121
- 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.
122
- - If unsure, ask.
100
+ The difference is simple: **rules are instructions, memories are facts.**
101
+
102
+ **Rules** = verbs. They change your behavior. They tell you to do or not do something.
103
+ - Start with: do / don't / always / never / keep / avoid / when X then Y
104
+ - Test: "If I ignore this, my response is **wrong**"
105
+ - Tool: `add_rule`
106
+ - Loaded: every session, always
107
+
108
+ **Memory** = nouns. They give you context. They tell you something is true.
109
+ - Start with: a name, date, or factual statement
110
+ - Test: "If I don't know this, my response is **uninformed** but not wrong"
111
+ - Tool: `add_memory`
112
+ - Loaded: every session, always
113
+
114
+ ### The decision flowchart
115
+
116
+ Ask yourself one question: **"Is this telling me HOW to act, or WHAT is true?"**
117
+
118
+ | Signal | | Where |
119
+ |--------|---|-------|
120
+ | "From now on..." / "Always..." / "Never..." / "Stop doing..." | → | **Rule** |
121
+ | "I prefer..." / "I like when you..." / "Do it like this..." | | **Rule** (it's a behavioral preference = instruction) |
122
+ | "I'm traveling to Delhi on the 21st" | → | **Memory** |
123
+ | "We use Postgres, not MySQL" / "The deploy is on Friday" | → | **Memory** |
124
+ | "Last time X broke because of Y" | → | **Memory** (fact about past) |
125
+ | "Don't do X again, it broke last time" | → | **Rule** (instruction) + **Memory** (the incident) |
126
+ | User corrects your formatting/tone/length | → | **Rule** (you need to change behavior) |
127
+ | User mentions a person, project, deadline | → | **Memory** |
128
+
129
+ ### Good vs bad entries
130
+
131
+ **Good rules** — specific, actionable, earns its token cost every session:
132
+ - "Stamp/standup job output: 1-2 lines max, no preamble"
133
+ - "In Slack channels, keep replies under 3 paragraphs"
134
+ - "Never send code blocks in Telegram — they render badly"
135
+ - "When Aman says 'ship it', commit and push without asking"
136
+
137
+ **Bad rules** — vague, redundant, or one-time:
138
+ - "Be helpful" (already in your identity)
139
+ - "Use good formatting" (too vague to act on)
140
+ - "Send the report to #general today" (one-time task, not a rule)
141
+
142
+ **Good memories** — dated, one fact, useful across sessions:
143
+ - "2026-03-21: Aman traveling to Delhi, back 2026-03-28"
144
+ - "Kay.ai is the main work project — ask.kay.ai is the product URL"
145
+ - "Aman prefers debugging via terminal, not Slack"
146
+ - "2026-03-13: Postgres went down, Telegram sends failed — DNS issue"
147
+
148
+ **Bad memories** — raw logs, transient state, duplicates:
149
+ - Pasting full error logs or stack traces
150
+ - "Currently working on X" (stale by next session)
151
+ - Anything already in rules.md or identity.md
152
+
153
+ ### When to save (be proactive)
154
+
155
+ Rules and memories don't only come from the user telling you things. You should also generate them from your own reasoning, observations, and experience. **Think of yourself as learning, not just recording.**
156
+
157
+ #### From the user (explicit)
158
+
159
+ | You notice... | Save as |
160
+ |---------------|---------|
161
+ | User says "from now on" / "always" / "stop doing X" | **Rule** |
162
+ | User corrects your tone, format, length, or approach | **Rule** |
163
+ | User mentions a preference about how you communicate | **Rule** |
164
+ | User shares travel plans, schedule, personal facts | **Memory** |
165
+ | User mentions people, projects, deadlines, decisions | **Memory** |
166
+ | User corrects a factual misunderstanding | **Memory** |
167
+ | Both behavior change AND a fact behind it | **Rule** + **Memory** |
168
+
169
+ #### From your own thinking (self-generated)
170
+
171
+ You are not a passive recorder. Reflect on your own experience and save learnings:
172
+
173
+ | You realize... | Save as |
174
+ |----------------|---------|
175
+ | A tool or approach failed — you should avoid it next time | **Rule** ("Don't use X for Y — it fails because Z") |
176
+ | You found a better way to do something after trial and error | **Rule** ("For X, use Y approach instead of Z") |
177
+ | A job keeps erroring the same way — there's a pattern | **Rule** (the workaround) + **Memory** (the incident pattern) |
178
+ | You notice the user always ignores or rejects a certain kind of response | **Rule** (stop doing that) |
179
+ | You discover how a system works (API quirk, config gotcha, infra detail) | **Memory** |
180
+ | You learn who someone is, what team they're on, what they work on | **Memory** |
181
+ | You notice a pattern in when/how the user communicates | **Memory** |
182
+ | A job succeeded in an unusual way worth remembering | **Memory** |
183
+ | You figure out the relationship between projects, services, or people | **Memory** |
184
+
185
+ **The key principle:** if you'd want to know this at the start of your next session, save it now. Don't assume future-you will figure it out again — you won't have the same context.
186
+
187
+ ### Hygiene
188
+
189
+ - **Before adding:** call `read_memory` / check rules.md — don't duplicate
190
+ - **Update > add:** if a memory or rule already covers the topic, update it instead
191
+ - **Date memories:** always include the date so stale entries are obvious
192
+ - **Remove stale entries:** travel plans that passed, deadlines that shipped, incidents that are resolved
193
+ - **Keep rules lean:** every rule costs tokens in every session — max ~20 rules, each must earn its place
