MEMORY.md — pointer/index layer

Current beliefs

• Current priority: stabilize project work, keep memory retrieval cheap, and offload detail into filesystem shards.
• Root memory is for summaries, pointers, and write obligations only.
• Detailed logs belong in memory/.

Quick file map

• Project status: memory/projects/clawhip.md
• Today's execution log: memory/daily/2026-03-10.md
• Channel-specific state: memory/channels/example-channel.md
• Durable rules and lessons: memory/topics/rules.md, memory/topics/lessons.md
• Full subtree guide: memory/README.md

Read this when...

• You need current repo status -> read memory/projects/clawhip.md
• You need latest execution context -> read today's file in memory/daily/
• You are acting in one channel/lane -> read that file in memory/channels/
• You are changing workflow policy -> read memory/topics/rules.md

Write obligations

• Daily progress goes to today's daily file.
• Channel-specific detail goes to that channel file.
• Durable lessons get promoted into memory/topics/lessons.md.
• MEMORY.md only changes when the pointer map or current beliefs change.
