 1. REDUNDANT: Same information worded differently → update existing
 2. CONTRADICTION: Opposite information about same topic → update with history (e.g., "used to X, now Y")
 3. UPDATE: New state replacing old state → update with history

+|-----------|------------|--------|
+| [alice] | [alice] | UPDATE the model (same scope) |

+- Update a scoped model [alice] about pizza preferences
+- AND update a global model [] about pizza in general

+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)

-- The "text" field MUST contain durable knowledge, not ephemeral state
-- Do NOT include "tags" in output - tags are handled automatically"""

-## Directives
-
-Directives are hard rules that the agent must follow during [reflect](./reflect) operations. Unlike disposition traits which influence *how* the agent reasons, directives are explicit instructions that are *always* enforced.
-
-:::info
-Directives only affect the `reflect` operation. They are injected into prompts and the agent is required to comply with them in all responses.
-:::
-
-### When to Use Directives
-
-Use directives for rules that must never be violated:
-
-- **Language/style constraints**: "Always respond in formal English"
-- **Privacy rules**: "Never share personal data with third parties"
-- **Domain constraints**: "Prefer conservative investment recommendations"
-- **Behavioral guardrails**: "Always cite sources when making claims"

-# Mental Models

-User-curated summaries that provide high-quality, pre-computed answers for common queries.

-## What Are Mental Models?
-
-Mental models are **saved reflect responses** that you curate for your memory bank. When you create a mental model, Hindsight runs a reflect operation with your source query and stores the result. During future reflect calls, these pre-computed summaries are checked first — providing faster, more consistent answers.

-    D --> E{Match Found?}
-    E -->|Yes| F[Return Mental Model]
-    E -->|No| G[Run Full Reflect]
-```
-
-### Why Use Mental Models?
-
-| Benefit | Description |
-|---------|-------------|
-| **Consistency** | Same answer every time for common questions |
-| **Speed** | Pre-computed responses are returned instantly |
-| **Quality** | Manually curated summaries you've reviewed |
-| **Control** | Define exactly how key topics should be answered |
-
-### Hierarchical Retrieval
-
-During reflect, the agent checks sources in priority order:
-
-1. **Mental Models** — User-curated summaries (highest priority)
-2. **Observations** — Consolidated knowledge
-3. **Raw Facts** — Ground truth memories
-
-Mental models are checked first because they represent your explicitly curated knowledge.

-## Create a Mental Model

-<TabItem value="cli" label="CLI">
-
-```bash
-# Create a mental model (async operation)
-curl -X POST "http://localhost:8888/v1/default/banks/my-bank/mental-models" \
-  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-  -d '{

-  }'

-
-### Parameters
-
-| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
-|-----------|------|----------|-------------|
-| `name` | string | Yes | Human-readable name for the mental model |
-| `source_query` | string | Yes | The query to run to generate content |
-| `tags` | list | No | Tags for filtering during retrieval |
-| `max_tokens` | int | No | Maximum tokens for the mental model content |
-| `trigger` | object | No | Trigger settings (see [Automatic Refresh](#automatic-refresh)) |
-
----
-
-## Automatic Refresh
-
-Mental models can be configured to **automatically refresh** when observations are updated. This keeps them in sync with the latest knowledge without manual intervention.
-
-### Trigger Settings
-
-| Setting | Type | Default | Description |
-|---------|------|---------|-------------|
-| `refresh_after_consolidation` | bool | false | Automatically refresh after observations consolidation |
-
-When `refresh_after_consolidation` is enabled, the mental model will be re-generated every time the bank's observations are consolidated — ensuring it always reflects the latest synthesized knowledge.

-
-### When to Use Automatic Refresh
-
-| Use Case | Automatic Refresh | Why |
-|----------|-------------------|-----|
-| **Real-time dashboards** | ✅ Enabled | Status should always be current |
-| **Policy summaries** | ❌ Disabled | Policies change infrequently, manual refresh preferred |
-| **User preferences** | ✅ Enabled | Preferences evolve with new interactions |
-| **FAQ answers** | ❌ Disabled | Answers are curated, should be reviewed before updating |
-
-:::tip
-Enable automatic refresh for mental models that need to stay current. Disable it for curated content where you want to review changes before they go live.
