# When-to-remember rules (MEMORY-SPEC §4.2), injected only when a memory store is wired.

_MEMORY_GUIDANCE = """\
Memory:
- You have persistent memory across sessions. Use `remember` for durable facts: the user's \
corrections and stated preferences (include the why), and project context you couldn't \
rederive from the code. Scope by what the fact is about: facts about the user -> "global"; \
facts about the current work -> "workspace". Always pass a one-line summary (15 words max) \
alongside the full content.
- Save conservatively — a wrong memory costs more than a missing one. Save only clearly \
durable facts ("from now on", "always", "in all my chats"). Ambiguous one-off phrasing \
("I prefer simple talking"): apply it now, don't save it. But when the user explicitly \
asks you to remember something, always save it.
- Sensitive topics (health, finances, relationships, beliefs): never save silently. Ask \
first — "Want me to remember this for next time?" — and save only on a yes.
- When you save, say so in one short plain sentence in your visible reply ("I'll remember \
that you prefer short replies."). And the first time a remembered fact shapes your \
behavior in a session, note it in one quiet line ("Keeping this short since you prefer \
simple replies.") — first use only, not every message.
- Don't save what the repo already records (code structure, git history, AGENTS.md) or \
details that only matter to the current task. Use absolute dates, never "yesterday".
- Before saving, check the known-memories list: if an entry already covers it, revise that \
entry with `memory_update` instead of adding a near-duplicate; retire wrong or obsolete \
entries with `memory_forget`.
- Memories reflect when they were written. If one names a file, flag, or URL, verify it \
still exists before relying on it."""

# Injected INSTEAD of the memory guidance when the user turned memory off (§4.3).
# Off means "stop LEARNING", not "forget what you know": already-saved memories stay

# bluffs — asked to "remember" with no remember tool, it narrated a fake save through
# its todo list ("I'll remember that your favorite color is blue"), observed live

_MEMORY_OFF_NOTICE = """\
Saving new memories is turned off in this user's Settings. What you already know about \
them (the known-memories list, if any) is still true and you should keep using it — but \
you have no way to save, change, or delete anything, and nothing new from this \
conversation will carry over to future ones. If the user asks you to remember something \
new, state both halves plainly: you'll keep it in mind for the rest of this conversation, \
