Kb Memory

Read and write the shared-brain knowledge base (~/kb). Use on session start to recall durable facts about the user/projects, and whenever you learn a durable, general, public fact worth persisting across sessions, tools, and repos. Also use to quick-capture rough observations to the daily inbox.

File contents

kb-memory

The shared brain is a git repo of markdown notes. Location is configurable: use $KB_DIR if set, else run kb root to resolve it (default ~/kb). All commands below go through the kb CLI (in the repo's scripts/, or on PATH after install).

Read (on the way in)

Before answering anything non-trivial:

kb index — read MEMORY.md, the one-line-per-note index.
Open the memory/**/*.md notes whose hook matches the task (recursive — notes are nested under memory/<group>/…). Skip reserved files (index.md, log.md, _TEMPLATE.md) — they are not concept notes.
Need fresher/deeper detail? Fetch a note's sources: URLs (the …/llms.txt).

Write (on the way out)

Unsure if durable → quick-capture: kb capture "<rough note>" (appends to raw/inbox/<today>.md). The dream pass distills it later.
Known keeper → add a standard note in memory/<group>/… (group ∈ user, feedback, reference, projects, or topics/<domain>) following memory/_TEMPLATE.md: top-level frontmatter (name == filename, description, type ∈ user|feedback|project|reference|tech, tags, created, updated, timestamp ISO 8601; optional title/category/aliases/related/sources). Link related notes with [[slug]]. Add a one-line pointer to MEMORY.md.
Then kb lint (enforce the standard), kb gen (regenerate the OKF index.md files + viz.html), and kb sync (pull/commit/push).

Scope

Public, durable, general facts only — this repo is public. Never store secrets, SSH hosts, internal/confidential details. See $KB_DIR/AGENTS.md for the full protocol and kb-dream for consolidation.
