Agent Instructions

This repository builds MemoryCustodian: a local-first, pure-text project memory skill and CLI for coding agents.

MemoryCustodian#

Before substantial work in this repository:

1. Read docs/memory/manifest.md and docs/memory/brief.md.
2. Choose a canonical task and supply touched/planned paths or an explicit area.
3. Use strict routing before substantial work; stop on incomplete/invalid routing or unresolved conflicts.
4. Do not infer areas/profiles from prose or load archive/inbox outside their explicit maintenance boundaries.
5. After meaningful decisions or repeated corrections, update evidence-backed memory or propose an update.

Keep this file short. Do not import docs/memory/ files here; Gemini context files are loaded into prompt context, while MemoryCustodian should load project memory through the manifest at task time.

Development#

• The CLI uses Python stdlib only.
• Run tests with PYTHONPATH=cli python3 -m unittest discover -s tests.
• Keep Skill instructions concise; put detailed policy in skills/memory-custodian/references/.
