memory-atlas documentation

memory-atlas is a per-repo knowledge atlas for coding agents: plain-markdown zone cards with an honest verifiedAt freshness signal. npm ships the engine; your mind vault lives in the repo as data.

Path For
On-ramp Wire CLAUDE.md / AGENTS.md, SessionStart hooks, skills after atlas init
Adoption Brownfield migrate: existing docs/ADRs/mind → Atlas shape
Configuration atlas.config.json field reference
CI recipe atlas check + index-in-sync in GitHub Actions
Works with Fleet siblings (sage, herald, oracle, armory, ferry)

Doctrine (short)

  1. Verified, not believed — claims tie to git (owns.globs, verifiedAt), not session transcripts.
  2. Map vs ledger — present-tense zones separate from frozen decisions/specs/plans.
  3. Recollection on finish — update + stamp zones in the same change as the code.
  4. Solo-first — zero sibling packages required; interop is optional file contracts.

Changelog CHANGELOG.md

Design specs and implementation plans for this toolkit live under atlas/specs/ and atlas/plans/ (and advisor-plans for program tracking) — not under public docs/.
