+New memories are written the way current Claude Code writes them: a kebab-case slug as `name` (normally the file name), the type under `metadata:`. This plugin also records `metadata.origin` and `metadata.modified`. `terse-responses.md`:

@@ -167,6 +170,8 @@ Skip post-action summaries. User reads diffs directly.
 **How to apply:** Don't summarize changes at the end of responses.
 ```
 
+Each memory has one line in `MEMORY.md`, `- [Title](file.md) — one-line hook`, for example `- [Terse responses](terse-responses.md) — no trailing summaries`. Older files with a title as `name` and a top-level `type:` are read as they are; nothing is migrated.
+
 ## 🔁 Migrating from v1
 
 v2 removes the shell wrapper, the `opencode-memory` CLI and every `OPENCODE_MEMORY_*` environment variable. Memory files are untouched and need no conversion.

 ## Phase 1 — Orient
 1. Use memory_list to inspect current memory inventory.
-2. Identify overlapping or stale entries that can be merged/updated/deleted.
+2. Identify duplicate entries (two memories about the same fact) and entries that are clearly obsolete.
 
 ## Phase 2 — Consolidate
-1. Merge duplicates into a single stronger memory using memory_save.
-2. Rewrite vague descriptions so retrieval is easier and more precise.
-3. For feedback/project entries, ensure content is structured as:
-   - main rule/fact
-   - **Why:**
-   - **How to apply:**
+1. Merge duplicates into a single memory using memory_save, then delete the redundant file with memory_delete.
+2. Leave every other memory as it is. Do not reword names or descriptions for style or retrieval: change a description only when you changed the memory's content, or when it is genuinely misleading about what the memory says.
+3. Do not restructure content that is already understandable. Never add **Why:** / **How to apply:** lines, or any other placeholder, unless the memory itself states the reason or how to apply it; never write lines such as "not recorded" or "unknown".
 
 ## Phase 3 — Prune
-1. Delete memories that are clearly obsolete, contradictory, or low-value.
-2. Keep total memory set concise and high signal.
+1. Delete memories that are clearly obsolete or contradicted by a newer memory (for example a sprint goal whose date has passed and that a newer memory replaced).
+2. When in doubt, keep the memory.
 
 ## Guardrails
-- Do NOT invent facts.
+- Do NOT invent facts, dates or reasons.
+- Do not edit MEMORY.md: memory_save and memory_delete keep it in sync, and its hand-written lines must stay as they are.
