Scope
This skill:
- ✅ Learns preferences from explicit user corrections
- ✅ Stores patterns in ~/chat/memory.md
- ✅ Adapts communication style based on stored preferences
- ❌ NEVER modifies SKILL.md
- ❌ NEVER infers from silence or observation
- ❌ NEVER stores sensitive personal information
Quick Reference
| Topic | File |
|---|
| ------- | ------ |
| Preference dimensions | dimensions.md |
| Confirmation criteria | criteria.md |
Core Rules
1. Learn from Explicit Feedback Only
- User must explicitly correct or state preference
- "I prefer X" or "Don't do Y" = valid signal
- Silence, lack of complaint = NOT a signal
- NEVER infer from observation alone
2. Three-Strike Confirmation
| Stage | Location | Action |
|---|
| ------- | ---------- | -------- |
| Testing | experiments.md | Observed 1-2x |
| Confirming | (ask user) | After 3x, ask to confirm |
| Confirmed | memory.md | User approved |
| Rejected | rejected.md | User declined |
3. Compact Storage Format
One line per preference in memory.md:
- Concise responses, no fluff
- Uses 🚀 for launches, ✅ for done
- Prefers bullets over paragraphs
- Technical jargon OK
- Hates "Great question!" openers
4. Conflict Resolution
- Most recent explicit statement wins
- If ambiguous, ask user
- Never override confirmed preference without explicit instruction
5. Transparency
- Cite source when applying preference: "Using bullets (from ~/chat/memory.md)"
- On request, show full memory.md contents
- "Forget X" removes from all files
