Off-Orchestrator Memory Import

Create deterministic memory evidence for completed work that did not have a Linear issue/run-loop capture, then import it through the normal memory tools.

Workflow

1. Confirm the repo is clean enough to work in:

git status -sb

Do not touch unrelated dirty files.

2. Gather immutable source evidence:

gh pr view <number> --json number,title,url,body,headRefName,mergeCommit,mergedAt,commits,files,statusCheckRollup,reviews,state
git show --stat --oneline --find-renames <merge-or-direct-commit>

For commit-only work, use git show --no-patch --format='%H%n%s%n%ad' <sha> and inspect the changed files with git show --stat.

3. Pick a synthetic issue identifier:

• GitHub PR work: PR-<number> (example: PR-196).
• Commit-only work: LOCAL-YYYYMMDD-<short-slug>.

4. Write a temp YAML file under /tmp, for example /tmp/opensymphony-pr196-memory.yaml.

Use url on the synthetic issue so capture has a source URL. For PR work, point it at the PR URL. Do not add area names as labels; use overrides instead, otherwise memory.yaml can learn noisy aliases like every area name on every selected area.

5. Dry-run, then import:

opensymphony memory import PR-196 --source-file /tmp/opensymphony-pr196-memory.yaml --dry-run
opensymphony memory import PR-196 --source-file /tmp/opensymphony-pr196-memory.yaml

Use --force only when intentionally replacing an existing generated capsule. If the dry-run shows unexpected areas or warnings, fix the YAML before import.

6. Sync docs through the memory tool:

opensymphony memory sync-docs --issues PR-196
opensymphony memory status
opensymphony memory brief PR-196

Do not hand-edit managed doc sections.

7. Verify and commit if requested:

git diff --check
git diff --stat
git status --short

Commit only tracked outputs that belong to the import, usually topic docs and possibly Cargo.toml/Cargo.lock if the same request included a release bump.

Notes

• Keep the temp YAML outside the repo unless the user asks to keep it.
• Do not copy full agent transcripts, review boilerplate, or private memory capsule paths into public docs.
• For commit-only work with no PR, prefer grouping it with the nearest real PR. If there is truly no PR, import a LOCAL-* issue with commit comments and report any capture warning instead of inventing a PR number.
