Memory System

Operational reference for the joelclaw memory pipeline (session signal → durable recall → curated MEMORY.md).

When to use

Use this skill when working on memory capture, write gates, Typesense-backed recall, reflection/promote flows, or nightly maintenance.

Canonical flow

sessions → observe → write-gate → store → decay/rank → retrieve → inject
    ↑                                                              ↓
    └──── nightly maintenance (dedup + stale pruning + stats) ─────┘
                       ↓
               observe → reflect → propose → triage → MEMORY.md

Guiding filter: “will this fact still be true and useful next month?”
