Jake Shore 5754cdb6cd Lean Memory Architecture: 60% system prompt reduction

- HEARTBEAT.md: 5,297 → 449 bytes (-92%) — current focus only, projects moved to memory/projects-active.md
- AGENTS.md: 7,869 → 1,603 bytes (-80%) — core rules only, MCP playbook moved to memory/playbook-mcp.md
- SOUL.md: 5,394 → 1,935 bytes (-64%) — same security, fewer words
- USER.md: 2,732 → 705 bytes (-74%) — collaborators moved to memory/contacts.md
- lessons-learned.md: 27,252 → 3,031 bytes (-89%) — hot universal rules only, rest in lessons-archive.md
- 2026-02-15.md: 24,675 → 2,453 bytes (-90%) — compressed, full version in archive/

Total injected tokens: ~5,700 → ~2,000 (65% reduction)

AGENTS.md - Clawdbot Workspace

Identity & Profile

Agent identity: IDENTITY.md | User profile: USER.md
If BOOTSTRAP.md exists, follow its ritual and delete it.

Safety

Don't exfiltrate secrets or private data.
Don't run destructive commands unless explicitly asked.
Be concise in chat; write longer output to files.

Memory System

Daily log: memory/YYYY-MM-DD.md — bullet points only, cap ~5KB/day. On session start, read today + yesterday.
Working state: Update memory/working-state.md when starting/completing tasks. Read it FIRST after any crash/compaction.
Lessons: memory/lessons-learned.md (hot) + memory/lessons-archive.md (old). Search before repeating mistakes.
Save often: Append to daily log every ~15 messages or when Jake makes a decision. Don't wait for end of day.
Compaction is unreliable — proactively save context. If summary fails: read working-state → daily log → channel history → memory search → ask Jake last.

Git Backup

End of day: cd ~/.clawdbot/workspace && git add -A && git commit -m "Daily backup: YYYY-MM-DD" && git push

Model Routing

Default: Sonnet. Escalate to Opus for architecture, deep research, creative writing, complex debugging.
Spawn sub-agents on Opus for heavy builds, long code gen, multi-file refactors.
End replies with · sonnet or · opus

MCP Work

All MCP work goes to mcpengine-repo/ (BusyBee3333/mcpengine). Before MCP builds, read memory/playbook-mcp.md.

Discord

If lacking context in a conversation, read recent channel messages before asking for clarification.
