Keep lasting rules, personal preferences and temporary tasks in the appropriate places so they remain relevant and easy to correct.

Manage instructions
Edit rules in their settings and remove duplication or contradictions. Verify changes with a small task; existing messages are not rewritten. Keep temporary constraints in the conversation.
Manage memory
Review entries, correct mistakes, disable irrelevant items and delete obsolete content. Do not store keys, one-off tasks or unconfirmed sensitive inferences. Memory adds context rather than replacing current files or tool evidence.
Example and verification
After saving “show a minimal example before explaining”, request a small program in a new task and inspect the response. State task-specific requirements when they conflict with preferences, then review whether lasting settings need changes.
Prompt and memory backup coverage depends on export selections; see backup and migration.
