+# Organization Patterns
+
+## Pattern 1: Category-Based Structure
+
+Most common. Organize by type of information:
+
+```
+~/memory/
+├── projects/
+├── people/
+├── decisions/
+├── knowledge/
+└── collections/
+```
+
+**Best for:** General use, multiple domains.
+
+---
+
+## Pattern 2: Domain-Focused Structure
+
+Everything organized around one domain:
+
+```
+~/memory/
+├── clients/
+├── deals/
+├── products/
+├── competitors/
+└── market-research/
+```
+
+**Best for:** Professionals focused on one area (sales, research, etc).
+
+---
+
+## Pattern 3: Time-Based Structure
+
+Organized by when things happened:
+
+```
+~/memory/
+├── 2026/
+│   ├── q1/
+│   └── q2/
+├── 2025/
+└── archive/
+```
+
+**Best for:** Journaling, logging, historical tracking.
+
+---
+
+## Pattern 4: Hybrid Structure
+
+Mix of categories and time:
+
+```
+~/memory/
+├── active/           # Current focus
+│   ├── projects/
+│   └── people/
+├── reference/        # Always relevant
+│   ├── knowledge/
+│   └── preferences/
+└── archive/          # Historical
+    ├── 2025/
+    └── 2024/
+```
+
+**Best for:** People who need both current and historical context.
+
+---
+
+## Pattern 5: Growing a Category
+
+When a category gets big, split it:
+
+**Before (100+ entries):**
+```
+~/memory/projects/INDEX.md  # Too long
+```
+
+**After (split by status):**
+```
+~/memory/projects/
+├── INDEX.md          # Just points to subdirs
+├── active/
+│   └── INDEX.md      # 20 entries
+├── paused/
+│   └── INDEX.md      # 15 entries
+└── archived/
+    └── INDEX.md      # 100+ entries (OK, rarely accessed)
+```
+
+---
+
+## Pattern 6: Syncing from Built-In Memory
+
+If user wants to copy info from agent's built-in memory:
+
+```
+~/memory/sync/
+├── INDEX.md
+├── preferences.md    # Copied from MEMORY.md
+└── key-decisions.md  # Copied from MEMORY.md
+```
+
+**Sync process:**
+1. Read from built-in (MEMORY.md, etc)
+2. Reformat for this system
+3. Write to ~/memory/sync/
+4. Update ~/memory/sync/INDEX.md with sync date
+
+**Never modify built-in memory.** Sync is read-only.
+
+---
+
+## Pattern 7: Quick Capture → Organize Later
+
+For fast entry without thinking about structure:
+
+```
+~/memory/
+├── inbox/
+│   └── INDEX.md      # Unsorted items
+├── projects/
+└── ...
+```
+
+**Flow:**
+1. Capture to inbox/ immediately
+2. Weekly: sort inbox/ into proper categories
+3. Delete from inbox/ after sorting
+
+---
+
+## Pattern 8: Cross-References
+
+When items relate to multiple categories:
+
+```markdown
+# ~/memory/projects/alpha.md
+
+## Team
+- Alice (PM) → see people/alice.md
+- Bob (Dev) → see people/bob.md
+
+## Key Decisions
+- Database choice → see decisions/2026.md#database-alpha
+```
+
+**Use relative links.** Never duplicate content.
+
+---
+
+## Pattern 9: Archiving Old Content
+
+When content is old but might be needed:
+
+**Don't delete. Archive:**
+```bash
+# Move to archive
+mv ~/memory/projects/old-thing.md ~/memory/archive/projects/
+
+# Update indices
+# 1. Remove from projects/INDEX.md
+# 2. Add to archive/INDEX.md
+```
+
+**Archive INDEX.md:**
+```markdown
+# Archive
+
+| Item | Type | Archived | Reason |
+|------|------|----------|--------|
+| OldProject | project | 2026-01 | Completed |
+```
+
+---
+
+## Pattern 10: Search Optimization
+
+Make content findable with good keywords:
+
+```markdown
+# ~/memory/people/alice.md
+
+# Alice Smith
+
+**Keywords:** PM, product manager, Acme Corp, alpha project, weekly sync
+
+## Profile
+...
+```
+
+When searching, keywords at top help grep/semantic search find the right file.
