| `<id>`                 | Specialist id.                                                                                                                   |
| `--name <name>`        | New name.                                                                                                                        |

| `--memory-file <path>` | A markdown file to become the specialist's memory: what it is for, how its work is done, its rules. Replaces the whole document. |
| `--clear-memory`       | Remove the memory.                                                                                                               |
| `--json`               | Machine-readable output.                                                                                                         |

The memory write names the version the command just read. If a conversation or another person changed it in between, the command fails with a 409 and nothing is overwritten; run it again.
