Project Memory

Use MEMORY.md as the entry point to a persistent, agent-maintained project wiki. The memory compounds over time: integrate knowledge once, maintain its connections, and reuse the resulting synthesis instead of reconstructing it from raw sources in every session.

Principles

• Read MEMORY.md before searching the wider project for background knowledge.
• Treat source material as evidence, not as the memory itself.
• Do not modify source material while ingesting it.
• Keep MEMORY.md concise. It is a map, not a knowledge dump.
• Put detailed knowledge in linked Markdown documents.
• Integrate new information with existing knowledge instead of creating disconnected summaries.
• Preserve links to source files, URLs, issues, commits, or other evidence.
• Record uncertainty and contradictions explicitly.
• Never store secrets, credentials, tokens, or unnecessarily sensitive data.
• Use git history rather than maintaining a duplicate chronological log.
