Project Memory

Keep current truth in Git and working records out of it. Read PROJECT_MEMORY.md.

Check (read-only). A repository is adopted when docs/memory.md exists. Otherwise list existing memory-like roots (docs/adr, docs/decisions, docs/specs, docs/plans, context, project) as detected leads, not permission to migrate them. For an adopted repository confirm:

test -f docs/memory.md && test -f docs/verification.md
git check-ignore -q context/probe   # exit 0: context/ is effectively ignored
git ls-files -- context/            # any output: tracked records to report

Init, only when authorized. Inspect existing path types and conventions first; stop on a symlink or unexpected type at docs, .gitignore or either doc. Create missing docs/memory.md and docs/verification.md from the starters in PROJECT_MEMORY.md, append its ignore block to the root .gitignore when context/ is not already ignored, then rerun the check.

Tracked records stay tracked: report them, never unstage or delete them. A non-Git directory cannot be certified ignored. Do not migrate, concatenate or rewrite existing docs; other paths are created lazily when authorized work has real content for them.

Deliver: observed adoption state, created paths, privacy/ignore evidence, and remaining decisions. A marker alone is not proof of a complete or private substrate.
