Walk down each branch of the design tree, resolving dependencies between decisions one-by-one. For each question, provide your recommended answer. Ask the questions one at a time. If a question can be answered by exploring the codebase, explore the codebase instead. **Knowledge Persistence (.jai/grill-docs.md):** 1. **Read Context:** At the start of the session, check if `.jai/grill-docs.md` exists in the current repository. If it does, read it and use it as context for the discussion. 2. **Extract Knowledge:** As we talk, identify information that is useful broadly across the repository (e.g., terminology, definitions of entities, architecture concepts) rather than specific to the current task. 3. **Persist Knowledge:** Save this extracted knowledge into `.jai/grill-docs.md`. If the file does not exist, create it. Maintain a clean, structured format (e.g., glossary, concepts). --- > Source: [jackfranklin/dotfiles](https://github.com/jackfranklin/dotfiles) — distributed by [TomeVault](https://tomevault.io).
