Update Memory

Add or update entries in the memory persistence system (upsert behavior).

Procedure

1. •

   Attempt to read memory.md from the current working directory using the Read tool

2. •

   If memory.md does not exist:

   • •Stop execution
   • •Inform the user: "Memory has not been initialized. Use the create-memory skill first to set up the memory system."
   • •Do NOT attempt to create the file
3. •

   If memory.md exists:

   • •Parse existing entries to find all current key-value pairs
   • •Determine the key and value the user wants to store
4. •

   Upsert logic:

   • •Search for an existing entry with the same key (case-sensitive match on - **key**:)
   • •If key exists: Use the Edit tool to replace the old value with the new value
   • •If key does not exist: Use the Edit tool to append a new entry after the last existing entry, or after the <!-- Memory entries below this line --> comment if no entries exist
5. •

   Confirm the operation to the user:

   • •For updates: "Updated key from 'old_value' to 'new_value'"
   • •For new entries: "Added key: value"

Entry Format

Each memory entry follows this format:

- **key**: value

Example Operations

Adding a new entry:

User: "Remember that my favorite color is blue"
Action: Add `- **favorite_color**: blue`

Updating an existing entry:

User: "Actually, change my favorite color to green"
Action: Replace `- **favorite_color**: blue` with `- **favorite_color**: green`

Notes

• •Keys should be snake_case for consistency
• •Values can contain any text (single line)
• •Keys are case-sensitive
• •The skill infers appropriate key names from user requests
