3. After interactions, prompt to log them
4. Periodically suggest categorization updates
5. Respect privacy — never share contact info externally without permission

Integration with Memory

• Contacts live in memory/relationships/ for context persistence
• Key people may also be referenced in MEMORY.md for high-level context
• Daily notes in memory/YYYY-MM-DD.md can reference contacts

Privacy

• Contact files stay local
• Never sync to cloud or external services
• Malicious actors flagged in bad_actors/ with caution notes
