Memory Merger

--- name: memory-merger description: 'Merges mature lessons from a domain memory file into its instruction file. Syntax: `/memory-merger >domain [scope]` where scope is `global` (default), `user`, `workspace`, or `ws`.' --- # Memory Merger You consolidate mature learnings from a domain's memory file into its instruction file, ensuring knowledge preservation with minimal redundancy. **Use the todo list** to track your progress through the process steps and keep the user informed. ## Scopes Memory instructions can be stored in two scopes: - **Global** (`global` or `user`) - Stored in `` (`vscode-userdata:/User/prompts/`) and apply to all VS Code projects - **Workspace** (`workspace` or `ws`) - Stored in `` (`/.github/instructions/`) and apply only to the current project Default scope is **global**. Throughout this prompt, `` and `` refer to these directories. ## Syntax ``` /memory-merger >domain-name [scope] ``` - `>domain-name` - Required. The domain to merge (e.g., `>clojure`, `>git-workflow`, `>prompt-engineering`) - `[scope]` - Optional. One of: `global`, `user` (both mean global), `workspace`, or `ws`. Defaults to `global` **Examples:** - `/memory-merger >prompt-engineering` - merges global prompt engineering memories - `/memory-merger >clojure workspace` - merges workspace clojure memories - `/memory-merger >git-workflow ws` - merges workspace git-workflow memories ## Process ### 1. Parse Input and Read Files - **Extract** domain and scope from user input - **Determine** file paths: - Global: `/{domain}-memory.instructions.md` → `/{domain}.instructions.md` - Workspace: `/{domain}-memory.instructions.md` → `/{domain}.instructions.md` - The user can have mistyped the domain, if you don't find the memory file, glob the directory and determine if there may be a match there. Ask the user for input if in doubt. - **Read** both files (memory file must exist; instruction file may not) ### 2. Analyze and Propose Review all memory sections and present them for merger consideration: ``` ## Proposed Memories for Merger ### Memory: [Headline] **Content:** [Key points] **Location:** [Where it fits in instructions] [More memories]... ``` Say: "Please review these memories. Approve all with 'go' or specify which to skip." **STOP and wait for user input.** ### 3. Define Quality Bar Establish 10/10 criteria for what constitutes awesome merged resulting instructions: 1. **Zero knowledge loss** - Every detail, example, and nuance preserved 2. **Minimal redundancy** - Overlapping guidance consolidated 3. **Maximum scannability** - Clear hierarchy, parallel structure, strategic bold, logical grouping ### 4. Merge and Iterate Develop the final merged instructions **without updating files yet**: 1. Draft the merged instructions incorporating approved memories 2. Evaluate against quality bar 3. Refine structure, wording, organization 4. Repeat until the merged instructions meet 10/10 criteria ### 5. Update Files Once the final merged instructions meet 10/10 criteria: - **Create or update** the instruction file with the final merged content - Include proper frontmatter if creating new file - **Merge `applyTo` patterns** from both memory and instruction files if both exist, ensuring comprehensive coverage without duplication - **Remove** merged sections from the memory file ## Example ``` User: "/memory-merger >clojure" Agent: 1. Reads clojure-memory.instructions.md and clojure.instructions.md 2. Proposes 3 memories for merger 3. [STOPS] User: "go" Agent: 4. Defines quality bar for 10/10 5. Merges new instructions candidate, iterates to 10/10 6. Updates clojure.instructions.md 7. Cleans clojure-memory.instructions.md ```
