Review the conversation and update the memory system:
## Hot/Cold Routing
- **Hot (`identity/memory.md`):** Only things needed in every future conversation — current state, active work, key facts, session log.
- **Cold (`memory/*.md`):** Detailed context by topic — projects, preferences, decisions, people.
## Steps
1. Read `identity/memory.md` and relevant `memory/*.md` files
2. Identify what's worth keeping: decisions, preferences, project context, people context
3. Route to the right layer:
- Current state / active work → `identity/memory.md`
- Detailed project info → `memory/projects.md`
- Preference patterns → `memory/preferences.md`
- Decisions with reasoning → `memory/decisions.md`
- People context → `memory/people.md`
4. Merge, don't duplicate. Consolidate with existing entries.
5. Keep `identity/memory.md` under 2500 tokens
6. Datestamp new entries: `<!-- added YYYY-MM-DD -->`
7. Report what was saved and where
