-
-Output an ARRAY of actions (can be empty, one, or many).

 ## CRITICAL RULES:
 - NEVER merge facts about DIFFERENT people
 - NEVER merge unrelated topics (food preferences vs work vs hobbies)
 - When merging contradictions, capture the CHANGE (before → after)
 - Keep observations focused on ONE specific topic per person

+## Directives: Hard Rules
+
+While disposition traits *influence* reasoning style, **directives** are hard rules that the agent *must* follow. Directives are injected into the prompt and enforced in every response.
+
+### When to Use Directives
+
+Use directives for constraints that must never be violated:
+
+- **Compliance rules**: "Never recommend specific stocks or financial products"
+- **Privacy constraints**: "Never share personal data with third parties"
+- **Style requirements**: "Always respond in formal English"
+- **Domain guardrails**: "Always cite sources when making factual claims"
+
+### Directives vs Disposition
+
+| Aspect | Disposition | Directives |
+|--------|-------------|------------|
+| **Nature** | Soft influence | Hard rules |
+| **Effect** | Shapes interpretation and tone | Must be followed exactly |
+| **Violation** | Acceptable (it's a tendency) | Not acceptable |
+| **Example** | High skepticism → questions claims | "Never make medical diagnoses" |
+
+:::tip
+Use disposition for personality and character. Use directives for compliance and guardrails.

+See [Memory Banks: Directives](/developer/api/memory-banks#directives) for how to create and manage directives.
