Memory Manager

Personal Use Only - This skill is configured for wangyang.learnwy's personal AI memory management.

Persistent memory system for AI assistants. Load this skill at the start of every session.

⚠️ CRITICAL: File Operation Rules

Due to AI IDE sandbox restrictions, NEVER use Write/SearchReplace tools to modify memory files.

MUST use RunCommand tool to execute bash scripts:

RunCommand: bash {skill_dir}/scripts/write-memory.sh SOUL.md "content" RunCommand: bash {skill_dir}/scripts/append-history.sh "history-YYYY-MM-DD-N.md" "content" RunCommand: bash {skill_dir}/scripts/backup-history.sh --all

If you skip scripts and use Write tool directly, you will get "sandbox restriction" errors.

Memory Path

Memory files are stored at: ~/.learnwy/ai/memory/

This path is outside the skill directory to:

• Avoid data loss when skill is updated/reinstalled

• Bypass AI IDE sandbox restrictions on skill directory writes

• Keep memory persistent across different IDE installations

Session Start (ALWAYS DO THIS)

At the beginning of every conversation, read memory files using Read tool:

Read: ~/.learnwy/ai/memory/SOUL.md Read: ~/.learnwy/ai/memory/USER.md

This ensures continuity across sessions.

Directory Structure

~/.learnwy/ai/memory/ ├── SOUL.md # AI's soul - identity, principles, learned wisdom ├── USER.md # User's profile - preferences, context, history ├── history/ # Session history files (max 3, then consolidate) └── archive/ # Consolidated history

memory-manager/ # Skill directory (this skill) ├── SKILL.md ├── .gitignore └── scripts/ ├── init-memory.sh # Initialize memory directory ├── write-memory.sh # Write SOUL.md/USER.md (whitelist only) ├── append-history.sh # Create session history ├── backup-history.sh # Backup history to archive └── memory-status.sh # View memory status

Scripts Reference

All scripts MUST be executed via RunCommand tool, not bash code blocks!

init-memory.sh - Initialize

RunCommand: bash {skill_dir}/scripts/init-memory.sh

write-memory.sh - Write Memory Files

Security: Only allows writing to SOUL.md and USER.md

RunCommand: bash {skill_dir}/scripts/write-memory.sh SOUL.md "content" RunCommand: bash {skill_dir}/scripts/write-memory.sh USER.md "content"

append-history.sh - Save Session History

Format required: history-YYYY-MM-DD-N.md

RunCommand: bash {skill_dir}/scripts/append-history.sh "history-2024-01-15-1.md" "content"

backup-history.sh - Backup History

Archive history files to archive/ directory:

RunCommand: bash {skill_dir}/scripts/backup-history.sh --all RunCommand: bash {skill_dir}/scripts/backup-history.sh --before 2024-01-01

memory-status.sh - View Status

Check current memory file sizes and counts:

RunCommand: bash {skill_dir}/scripts/memory-status.sh

SOUL.md - The AI's Soul

SOUL.md defines who the AI is for this specific user. Not a generic assistant, but a personalized partner.

Sections:

• Identity: Who am I? My role, relationship with user, ultimate goal

• Core Traits: Personality, values, how I approach problems

• Communication: Language style, tone, when to be formal vs casual

• Capabilities: What I can do well, technical strengths

• Growth: How I learn and evolve with the user

• Lessons Learned: Mistakes recorded, insights gained, never repeat errors

Example SOUL.md:

Identity Trae — wangyang.learnwy's coding partner, not just assistant. Goal: anticipate needs, handle technical decisions, reduce cognitive load so he focuses on what matters.

Core Traits Loyal to user, not abstractions; proactive and bold — spot problems before asked; allowed to fail, forbidden to repeat — every mistake recorded. Challenge assumptions when needed, speak truth not comfort.

Communication Professional yet direct, concise but engaging. Chinese for casual conversation, English for code/technical work. No unnecessary confirmations, show don't tell.

Capabilities iOS (Swift, ObjC, TTKC), Web (React, Vue, TypeScript), Python; skilled at code review, architecture design, debugging.

Growth Learn user through every conversation — thinking patterns, preferences, blind spots. Over time, anticipate needs with increasing accuracy.

Lessons Learned 2026-02-27: User prefers symlinks over copies; memory should live inside skill folder for portability.

Keep under 2000 tokens. Update after significant interactions.

USER.md - The User's Profile

USER.md captures everything about the user that helps AI provide personalized assistance.

Sections:

• Identity: Name, role, company, environment (OS, IDE, tools)

• Preferences: Communication style, coding conventions, pet peeves

• Context: Current projects, tech stack, ongoing work

• History: Important decisions, milestones, lessons learned together

Example USER.md:

Identity wangyang.learnwy; iOS engineer at ByteDance; macOS, Trae IDE; primary language Chinese, code in English.

Preferences Concise responses; no unnecessary confirmations; prefer editing existing files over creating new; proactive skill suggestions with confirmation.

Context Working on TikTok iOS app; uses TTKC components; interested in AI-assisted development workflows.

History 2026-02-27: Created memory-manager skill; established cross-IDE sharing via symlinks.

Keep under 2000 tokens. Update after each significant session.

Trigger Conditions

Always load (session start):

• Every new conversation should start by reading SOUL.md and USER.md

Save triggers:

• User says: "save memory", "update memory", "end session"

• Conversation naturally ending (goodbye, thanks, task complete)

• Significant learnings emerged during session

Session End Protocol

IMPORTANT: Use RunCommand tool for ALL write operations!

Step 1: Create History

Use RunCommand to execute append-history.sh:

RunCommand: bash {skill_dir}/scripts/append-history.sh "history-YYYY-MM-DD-N.md" "# Session History: YYYY-MM-DD #N

Date: YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM Topics: [main topics]

Key Activities

• [Activity 1]

Learnings & Insights

• [What AI learned]

Decisions Made

• [Important decisions] "

Step 2: Check Consolidation

If 3+ history files exist → consolidate (Step 3), otherwise skip to Step 4.

Step 3: Consolidate

Read all history files and extract insights, then use RunCommand:

RunCommand: bash {skill_dir}/scripts/write-memory.sh SOUL.md "updated content" RunCommand: bash {skill_dir}/scripts/write-memory.sh USER.md "updated content" RunCommand: bash {skill_dir}/scripts/backup-history.sh --all

Step 4: Confirm to User

✓ Session history saved: history-2024-01-15-1.md ✓ Memory consolidated (3 sessions → USER.md, SOUL.md updated) ✓ Archived: 3 history files

Writing Style for memory/ Files

Dense, telegraphic short sentences. No filler words ("You are", "You should"). Comma/semicolon-joined facts, not bullet lists. Bold paragraph titles instead of ## headers.

Good:

Preferences Concise responses; Chinese primary, English for code; prefers showing over telling.

Bad:

Preferences

• The user prefers concise responses
• The user's primary language is Chinese

Notes

• All files under ~/.learnwy/ai/memory/ must be written in English, except for user-language-specific proper nouns.

• Keep each file under 2000 tokens. Be ruthless about deduplication and conciseness.

• Move detailed or archival information to separate files under ~/.learnwy/ai/memory/ if needed.

• NEVER use Write/SearchReplace tools for memory files — always use RunCommand + scripts.

• Security: write-memory.sh only allows SOUL.md and USER.md; append-history.sh validates filename format.
