mem: — the state the agent holds
Five directives over the state the agent holds of you across answers: save it, pin it, fix it, recall it, forget it.
The mem: directives
mem: — Save what this message designates, durably.mem:pin — Save it at special priority — pinned, load-bearing.mem:fix — Correct an existing memory: replace old with new.mem:recall — Answer from memory first, provenance shown.mem:forget — Remove the designated memory — guarded, confirmed.What this domain governs
The state the agent holds of you across answers — what is saved, prioritized, corrected, recalled, or removed. mem: governs held state only: it steers no single reply's form and no timing. Every write is confirmed in the same reply, with exactly what changed — and the confirmation is checkable against the store.
Every token in this domain completes the same silent instruction — alter the memory … — and, for the read, answer from the memory … — written in the specification, never typed by the user. The prefix names the thing the phrase governs; the name after the colon qualifies it.
The domain's rules
- The bare prefix is the save.
mem:alone — zero letters past the colon — saves what the message designates. The domain's most frequent act costs the least. - Stacking. A stack holds at most one Operation (save / fix / forget — last wins) plus optionally the Priority modifier
pin:mem:fix/pinis a correction at top priority.recallnever stacks with a write. - Guarded forgetting.
forgetnames the entry it will remove before removing it, and confirms completion. Nothing is forgotten on an ambiguous designation. - Discovery. A message of just
mem:with nothing designated is the domain's discovery form — and a message designating content makes it a save.
The directives
| Token | Axis | Shortest | Level | Meaning |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| mem: | Operation | — (bare) | 2 | The bare form: save what this message designates — the fact, preference, or decision it names — into persistent memory as durable, and confirm exactly what was saved, in this reply. The token is the domain prefix alone (zero letters past the prefix). |
| mem:pin | Priority | pi | 2 | Save it and mark it special priority: pinned memories surface first, are never pruned quietly, and are treated as load-bearing. Stacks with an operation (mem:fix/pin = a correction at top priority). |
| mem:fix | Operation | fi | 2 | This message corrects an existing memory: replace the old version with this one, and confirm what changed. |
| mem:recall | — | re | 2 | Answer from memory first: search what is actually remembered about this, report it with its provenance where known — and say plainly when nothing is saved. A standalone read act; does not stack with writes. |
| mem:forget | Operation | fo | 2 | Remove the memory this message designates. A guarded operation: the agent names exactly what will be removed, the host's forget process governs the removal, and completion is confirmed in this reply. If the designation is ambiguous, ask — forgetting is irreversible, and speed is the wrong value for it. |
Each directive page carries the detail: fired examples (typed, reply-targeted, and spoken), what the agent actually does under the hood, the honest fallback when a host lacks the capability, and the conformance test the directive must pass.
