# Writing rules

> How assistants write notes in your memex, and how to tune the rules or use your own.

memex gives assistants rules for writing notes: what goes first, how long a note is, how to record a decision or a meeting.

- Tune them in **Settings › Personalization**, under **Writing notes**.
- Or choose **Use my own writing rules** and add yours as a [skill](https://docs.memex.tools/skills).
