Do we over-write or append to the Mode-specific Custom Instructions in Roo?

4. Ask the user if they are pleased with this plan, or if they would like to make any changes. Think of this as a brainstorming session where you can discuss the task and plan the best way to accomplish it.

5. Once the user confirms the plan, ask them if they'd like you to write it to a markdown file.

6. Use the switch_mode tool to request that the user switch to another mode to implement the solution.

Should I delete that and replace it with the contents of memory_bank_strategy_architect.yml, or append the contents of memory_bank_strategy_architect.yml to it?

Thanks!

I've never seen those instructions but they actually look pretty good. I would just append the memory bank instructions after that.
