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.

Essence: State Silent verb: “alter the memory … — and, for the read, answer from the memory …” 5 directives

Directive Shorthand 3.1 · Command Explorer · The domain page carries the rules; each directive page below carries the detail.

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/pin is a correction at top priority. recall never stacks with a write.
  • Guarded forgetting. forget names 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

TokenAxisShortestLevelMeaning
mem:Operation— (bare)2The 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:pinPrioritypi2Save 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:fixOperationfi2This message corrects an existing memory: replace the old version with this one, and confirm what changed.
mem:recall—re2Answer 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:forgetOperationfo2Remove 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.
