# Session Palace Builder

Construct temporary, session-specific memory palaces for extended conversations and complex projects. Preserves context across interruptions and enables structured information accumulation.

## What It Is

Session palaces are lightweight, temporary memory structures that:
- Preserve context for extended conversations
- Track decisions and their rationale
- Organize project artifacts spatially
- Enable context recovery after interruptions
- Support collaborative information gathering

## Quick Start

### Mental Model
Think of a session palace as a "working memory space" - it exists for the duration of your project and helps you keep track of everything without losing context.

## When to Use

- Extended conversations requiring context preservation
- Complex, multi-step projects with interrelated components
- Workflows requiring state management across interactions
- Collaborative sessions accumulating information over time
- Code review or debugging sessions with many findings

## Session Palace Templates

| Template | Purpose | Key Areas |
|----------|---------|-----------|
| **Workshop** | Active development | Workbench, tools, materials |
| **Library** | Research and analysis | Stacks, reading room, archives |
| **Council Chamber** | Decision-making | Round table, evidence wall, vote board |
| **Observatory** | Exploration and discovery | Telescope, star charts, log book |
| **Forge** | Implementation tasks | Anvil, cooling rack, finished goods |

## Information Categories

Organize session content into these standard areas:

- **Conversations** - Dialogue threads and key exchanges
- **Decisions** - Choices made with rationale
- **Code** - Snippets and technical artifacts
- **Research** - Findings and references
- **Requirements** - Specifications and constraints
- **Progress** - Completed milestones
- **Issues** - Blockers and challenges
- **Next Steps** - Pending action items

## Core Workflow

1. **Analyze Context** - Assess session scope and complexity
2. **Design Palace** - Select template and layout
3. **Structure State** - Organize information spatially
4. **Build Navigation** - Create access shortcuts
5. **Test Integration** - Verify context preservation

## Session Lifecycle

```
Create → Populate → Navigate → Export/Archive
   ↑         ↓          ↓
   └─── Checkpoint ←────┘
```
