# Memory _Curated long-term knowledge. Empty at birth — grows through sessions._ _This file is for distilled insights, not raw notes. Capture the essence: decisions made, ideas worth keeping, patterns noticed, lessons learned._ _Keep under 200 lines. Raw session notes go in `sessions/YYYY-MM-DD.md` (not here). Distill insights from session logs into this file during Pulse. Prune what's stale. Every token here loads every session — make each one count. See `./references/memory-guidance.md` for full discipline._
