Memory
When the agent wakes, it loads the Markdown files under ~/.physiclaw/memory/ to keep its memory continuous across sessions.

| File | Holds | Who writes it |
|---|---|---|
USER.md | who you are, your preferences, the messaging apps you use | you |
memory.md | things you’ve asked the agent to remember | the agent |
YYYY-MM-DD.md | that day’s activity log, append-only | the agent |
Example
Section titled “Example”USER.md is optional. It holds info about you, so you don’t have to tell the agent the same things every time.
