pypto-memory-template
Template for the PyPTO Kernel operator-specific memory file (custom/{op}/MEMORY.md). Defines required sections, machine-readable fields, and update cadence. Use when creating or updating an operator's

GitHubPyPTO Complex Kernel — Memory Template
This skill contains the memory template that agents copy to custom/<operator_name>/MEMORY.md at the start of Stage 5 (implementation). Stage 1–4 agents (planner / mathematician / architect / designer) do NOT read or write MEMORY.md — their deliverables live in SPEC.md, <op>_golden.py, DESIGN.md, and module_interfaces.yaml. MEMORY.md is created and owned by Stage 5 coder and downstream agents only.

MEMORY.template.md |
The actual template — copy to custom/<op>/MEMORY.md and fill in |
When to use
- Stage 5 dispatch start: Copy
MEMORY.template.mdtocustom/<operator_name>/MEMORY.mdas the first action; seed Task summary / API map from SPEC.md + API_REPORT.md, decomposition/contracts from DESIGN.md +module_interfaces.yaml - Every turn: Update
active_module,modules_pypto_verified,current_staged_file,next_mandatory_step - Stage 5 coding: Fill in Golden function inventory, Module decomposition mirror, Module contracts, Staged module files table, Experience Preflight
- Per-Phase: Append to Per-module verification log after each boundary check
- Cleanup: Final Golden function inventory cross-check
- Debugging: Paste
extract_pypto_calls.pyoutput, append to Development & debug log
