- Before repeating a process done in a past session
- When encountering an error that may have been solved before
Search: grep -ri "keyword" .archive/
Index: .archive/MEMORY.md

- Read
.archive/MEMORY.md— check for related existing archives - Create
.archive/YYYY-MM-DD/directory if needed - Write markdown file with YAML frontmatter (see
references/TEMPLATE.md) - Update
.archive/MEMORY.md: add one-line entry under the right category - If related archives exist, add
relatedfield in frontmatter
Lookup Workflow

.archive/MEMORY.mdto find relevant entries - Read the specific archive file for detailed context
