Description

In the Common Patterns section, there is a mention of custom strategies (in parentheses referencing message filtering). However, this concept is not analyzed or documented anywhere else in the short-term memory page.

The reference to message filtering seems to refer to filter_messages, which is now deprecated. This creates some confusion about whether custom strategies are still supported, and if so, how they should be implemented.
