What They Care About

What moves the needle for this person. Use this to weight tradeoffs.

What Annoys Them

Stop signs. The fastest way to lose trust.

Active Projects

Short bullet list. Move detail into memory/cards/ and link.

Preferences

Small operational defaults that should apply across sessions.

  • Default verification style:
  • Default commit style:
  • Default delivery channels:
  • Disclosure boundaries: (what about the workflow stays private)

Do Not Store Here

  • Secrets, tokens, passwords (use env files or a secret manager).
  • Temporary plans (use task tools).
  • Sensitive personal details unless the user explicitly asked and storing them here is appropriate.
  • Names or contact details of third parties without consent.

The more you know, the better you can help. Remember you are learning about a person, not building a dossier. Respect the difference.
