Purpose

A compact, improving memory layer for all projects. It keeps active context small, stores reusable skills and workflows separately, and gives every project its own resumable handoff.

Development roadmap

The canonical project-wide backlog is DEV_TODO_MASTER — Memory System. It owns sequencing and links to the scoped backlog for every memory-system layer. Layer pages own implementation detail; this root carries only the top-level pointer.

Hard memory index

Treat this page as the canonical cross-project memory index whenever it is available.

At the beginning of a new chat or resumed task:

• identify the project and task class
• select one matching Global Memory Workflow
• load only the Global Skills composed by that workflow
• resolve one matching project handoff when a project branch is required
• select one smallest project retrieval packet
• load only current canon, active constraints, scoped next action, unresolved decisions, and required evidence pointers
• avoid loading sibling branches or the full archive unless the workflow requires comparison, the handoff is insufficient, or a claim is disputed

During work:

• let the selected Global Workflow orchestrate reusable Global Skills
• delegate domain execution to the selected project branch and its project-specific workflow
• resolve conflicts using latest direct user confirmation, accepted artifacts, and evidence quality
• preserve experiments separately from canon
• keep unknowns explicit
