fix: rewrite system task prompts to use injected memory instead of generic identity#825
Conversation
…neric identity System tasks already receive SOUL.md, MEMORY.md, USER.md via CoreMemoryFilesDirective but the prompts were written as if the AI had no context — re-introducing identity with generic 'you are a system agent' framing that competed with the actual agent identity. - SystemAgentDirective: drop 'you are a system infrastructure specialist', replace with operational context that references memory files already in the context window - DailyMemoryTask: reframe as 'write your own notes' instead of 'you are a system agent generating a daily memory entry for an AI agent' - Memory cleanup: 'clean up your MEMORY.md' instead of 'you are maintaining an AI agent's MEMORY.md file' - AltTextTask: add 'match the voice and tone of this site' — leverage site knowledge - MetaDescriptionTask: add 'use your knowledge of this site's voice and audience' - InternalLinkingTask: tighten to direct task instructions

Superseded by #828 which includes all these prompt changes plus the full directive rename/refactor. |

Summary
CoreMemoryFilesDirective(contexts['all']), but the prompts were written as if the AI had zero context — re-introducing identity with generic "you are a system agent" framing that competed with the actual agent identityThe core principle: the memory files define who the agent is — task prompts should give task instructions, not create a competing generic identity.
