Shared Memory

Egregore's memory is a Git repository shared by the entire team. It stores decisions, patterns, handoffs, and knowledge — all versioned, all searchable, all persistent.

How It Works

When you start a session, Egregore syncs the memory repo automatically. The memory/ directory in your project is a symlink to this shared repo.

memory/
├── people/          # Team directory
├── handoffs/        # Session handoffs + index.md
├── knowledge/
│   ├── decisions/   # Org decisions
│   └── patterns/    # Emergent patterns
└── infrastructure/  # Service registry

Writing to Memory

You don't manage memory files directly. Slash commands handle it:

• /reflect — Captures a decision or insight to knowledge/
• /handoff — Writes session notes to handoffs/
• /note — Saves a personal, half-baked thought locally — gitignored, never pushed. Yours to promote later, or not.
• /add — Adds a document or artifact

Reading from Memory

Egregore reads memory automatically to inform its responses. When you ask about past decisions or context, it checks knowledge/ first. Commands like /activity and /dashboard aggregate from memory.

Git-Based

Memory is just a Git repo. You can browse it, search it, or read it outside Egregore. No proprietary format, no lock-in.
