Standing rules and lessons in workspace memory are injected into every agent turn automatically.
Create notes inside a /rules/ or /lessons/ folder in your workspace memory and agents follow them without you having to repeat them each time. Use /rules/ for hard constraints ("always cite sources") and /lessons/ for things learned from past work ("our brand voice is conversational, not formal").
- Open Library › Memory > Workspace tab.
- Create a note at the path /rules/your-rule or /lessons/your-lesson.
- Add the instruction as plain text.
Where: Library › Memory (web and Mac).
Reflection is a related feature: after a task finishes, the agent can propose new skill or lesson notes for a person to review and approve. Reflection is off by default — enable it in workspace settings.
Good to know: rules and lessons count toward memory context; keep them concise. Related: What is workspace memory?, Create notes in workspace memory.
