What This Skill Does

Automated multi-tiered memory management that organizes context into HOT, WARM, and COLD tiers. It prunes, redistributes, and archives memory during manual or post-compaction operations to keep the active context lean and retrieval efficient.

Replaces manual context pruning and ad-hoc archiving by enforcing a structured three-tier memory workflow that preserves important information while minimizing token waste.

When to Use It

  • Run memory tiering after completing a complex multi-step task to archive finished work
  • Trigger memory organization when the HOT memory becomes too large for efficient context use
  • Archive resolved bugs and completed project milestones into COLD memory
  • Move newly discovered user preferences or system configurations into WARM memory
  • Prune temporary credentials and session-specific details from HOT memory after task completion
  • Redistribute context after a /compact command to ensure critical information is not lost

Memory Tiering Skill 🧠⚖️

This skill implements a dynamic, three-tiered memory architecture to optimize context usage and retrieval efficiency.

The Three Tiers

  1. 🔥 HOT (memory/hot/HOT_MEMORY.md):
    • Focus: Current session context, active tasks, temporary credentials, immediate goals.
    • Management: Updated frequently. Pruned aggressively once tasks are completed.
  2. 🌡️ WARM (memory/warm/WARM_MEMORY.md):
    • Focus: User preferences (Hui's style, timezone), core system inventory, stable configurations, recurring interests.
    • Management: Updated when preferences change or new stable tools are added.
  3. ❄️ COLD (MEMORY.md):
    • Focus: Long-term archive, historical decisions, project milestones, distilled lessons.
    • Management: Updated during archival phases. Detail is replaced by summaries.

Workflow: Organize-Memory

Whenever a memory reorganization is triggered (manual or post-compaction), follow these steps:

Step 1: Ingest & Audit

  • Read all three tiers and recent daily logs (memory/YYYY-MM-DD.md).
  • Identify "Dead Context" (completed tasks, resolved bugs).

Step 2: Tier Redistribution

  • Move to HOT: Anything requiring immediate attention in the next 2-3 turns.
  • Move to WARM: New facts about the user or system that are permanent.
  • Move to COLD: Completed high-level project summaries.

Step 3: Pruning & Summarization

  • Remove granular details from COLD.
  • Ensure credentials in HOT point to their root files rather than storing raw secrets (if possible).

Step 4: Verification

  • Ensure no critical information was lost during the move.
  • Verify that HOT is now small enough for efficient context use.

Usage Trigger

  • Trigger manually with: "Run memory tiering" or "整理记忆层级".
  • Trigger automatically after any /compact command.
