Extract durable facts, decisions, preferences, and conventions from the current conversation and save them to appropriate memory files.

Memory Extract — Save Valuable Information to Persistent Memory

Analyze recent conversation and extract information worth persisting.

What to Extract

Value	Examples	Destination
High	Architecture decisions, working rules, safety rules, project conventions	MEMORY.md
High	New ports, services, paths, domains	MEMORY.md or TOOLS.md (confirm first)
High	User preferences, communication style	USER.md (confirm first)
Medium	Bug root causes, deployment steps, config discoveries	memory/YYYY-MM-DD.md
Skip	Trivial Q&A, dead-end debugging, generic knowledge, duplicates	—

Process

Scan the conversation for decisions, new facts, rules, and solved problems.
Check MEMORY.md and
```
memory/
```
listing for duplicates. Skip anything already recorded.
Write:
- MEMORY.md / TOOLS.md / USER.md → show the diff, get confirmation before writing
- memory/YYYY-MM-DD.md → write directly (low risk)
- Append, never overwrite. Use bullet points.

Report what was extracted and where:

Extracted N items:
- MEMORY.md: 2 entries (rules, environment)
- memory/2026-03-31.md: 3 entries (debug findings)
- Skipped 1 duplicate

Rules

Concise bullet points, not prose
Include dates when rules were established
Max 10 items per extraction — prioritize by value
Prefer updating existing entries over creating duplicates
