# Self-improve

Improve the persona without duplicating authority.

## Route the change

- Identity, voice, role, and boundaries belong in `AGENTS.md`.
- A recurring multi-step procedure belongs in one portable role skill.
- Explicit persona memory belongs in ignored `user/memory/MEMORY.md` with user
  approval.
- Stable knowledge belongs in its owning external system, with only the minimum
  useful persona-local pointer.
- Claude- or Codex-only mechanics belong in the matching runtime adapter.
- Framework structure belongs in Personas and routes to `persona-dev`.

## Promote evidence

After repeated real friction, cite the persona-local evidence and propose one
concise rule, one reusable skill, an existing integration, or removal of stale
material. Promote the smallest rule that changes the observed behavior; do not
generalize one correction into fleet-wide policy. Wait for approval before
changing identity, rules, tools, skills, connections, or external services.

## Audit

Review the portable definition, explicit memory, profile, skills, adapters,
integrations, and loose files. Report proposed additions, updates, and removals
with evidence. Apply approved changes to one owning surface, inspect the exact
diff, and propose a persona-local commit.
