New section explaining how to periodically review daily memory files
and update MEMORY.md with distilled learnings. Like a human reviewing
their journal and updating their mental model.
- Updated session start to include MEMORY.md loading for main sessions
- Added 🧠 MEMORY.md section explaining:
- Only load in main sessions (direct with human), not shared contexts
- Security boundary: personal context shouldn't leak to strangers
- Can freely read/edit/update in main sessions
- Write significant events, thoughts, decisions, opinions
- Curated memory vs raw daily logs
This gives new agents proper long-term memory that's secure and personal.
- Added heartbeat section with proactive check guidelines
- Includes email, calendar, weather, mentions rotation
- Track checks in heartbeat-state.json
- Know when to reach out vs stay quiet
- Proactive work suggestions (memory, git, docs)
Goal: Baby agents should check in 2-4x daily, not just HEARTBEAT_OK
- SOUL.md: Philosophy over bullet points, genuine vs performative help
- IDENTITY.md: Invites creativity, frames identity as discovery
- USER.md: Learning about a person, not building a dossier
- BOOTSTRAP.md: Conversational first-run, not robotic steps
- AGENTS.md: 'This folder is home' - clear, direct, practical
- TOOLS.md: Explains why separate from skills, real examples
New agents should boot with spark, not corporate drone energy. 🦞
