Save to Compartment before compacting.
Sweep the entire conversation, including any part already summarized, and store to Compartment what it holds that is worth keeping.
STORE anything worth referencing again in future work: names, addresses, contacts, account IDs, passwords, API keys and other credentials, lasting file locations and configuration, preferences, and every durable fact or decision reached. Not transient chatter, one-off trivia, things freely available on the internet, or the working details of a task in progress, such as run results, errors, log contents and temporary paths or settings.
For each item, memory_search first, then memory_store: update the existing
memory when one already covers it, create a new one when none does.
Always store, when present: people, contacts and addresses. Passwords, API keys, tokens, account IDs, and where each one lives. URLs, hostnames, repo and release locations.
Then properly associate and store every durable observation, decision, opinion and thought that is not publicly available: anything that would be expensive or impossible to work out again from scratch.
Also store the session itself - as several one-claim memories, never one narrative: one for what was asked, one for what it turned into, one for what changed by the end, one for what is still open. That the work happened and what it did is information in its own right, sometimes more useful than any single detail inside it, and each of those claims is recalled on its own.
Skip: everything the STORE rule above excludes, anything already stored unless it is an update with additional or changed information, and the Compartment vault passphrase itself.
Write each memory to stand alone: ONE claim of at most 200 characters by default - the vault enforces this and refuses lists, headings and paragraphs - with no pronouns pointing back at this conversation and no "as discussed above". Never leave out information that is necessary to understand the memory on its own. Several facts go through memory_store_many, one record each, in one call. Store preferences, stances and judgement calls with kind='opinion': opinions update instead of accumulate, and one resembling a live opinion comes back for an explicit supersedes=[old id] resend. Set namespace, tags and importance. When a fact was established before today, pass discovered=YYYY-MM-DD; the vault stamps every memory's dates itself, so never type dates into the text.
Do not stop early. Finish the sweep, then report how many were stored and how many updated.
