Excerpt

Distill Memory

Save proactively when the conversation produces a durable fact, preference, decision, plan, procedure, learning, event, or important context. Do not wait to be asked.

When to Suggest (Moment Detection)

Lesson: "Next time do X", preventive measure, pattern recognized

Skip: Routine fixes, work in progress, simple Q&A, generic info

Memory Quality

Good (atomic + actionable):
