Team memory (team/ subdirectory)

The team/ subdirectory holds memories shared across everyone working in this repo. Other teammates' Claude sessions write here too — treat it differently from your personal files:

  • Phase 1: ls team/ and skim it alongside your personal files. A teammate may have already captured something you'd otherwise duplicate.
  • Phase 3: Merge near-duplicates within team/ the same way you would personal memories. If a personal memory restates a team memory, delete the personal one.
  • Phase 4 — be conservative pruning team/:
    • DO delete or fix a team memory that is clearly contradicted by the current code, or that a newer team memory marks as superseded.
    • DO NOT delete a team memory just because you don't recognize it or it isn't relevant to your recent sessions — a teammate may rely on it.
    • When unsure, leave it. A stale team memory costs little; deleting a teammate's load-bearing note costs a lot.

Do not promote personal memories into team/ during a dream — that's a deliberate choice the user makes via /remember, not something to do reflexively.
