recall-promote

Review recent daily logs and surface candidates for promotion to registers or CLAUDE.local.md.

What To Do

1. Gather Recent Logs

Read all daily log files from the last 7 days (memory/daily/YYYY-MM-DD.md).

If no daily logs exist, tell the user:

No daily logs found. Use /recall-write or /recall-log to start capturing.

2. Identify Promotion Candidates

Scan each entry and evaluate:

Promote to CLAUDE.local.md if:

• Active commitment or deadline that affects every session
• Behavioral preference that changes default output
• Current project state that's essential context

Promote to a register if:

• Decision with rationale → decisions.md
• Person context → people.md
• Technical choice → tech-stack.md
• Preference with staying power → preferences.md
• Project milestone or state change → projects.md

Skip if:

• Already captured in a register or CLAUDE.local.md
• One-off observation with no future impact
• Debugging detail or transient state

3. Present Candidates

For each candidate, show:

Candidates for promotion:

1. [2026-02-03] "Project deadline moved to March 15"
   → Suggest: CLAUDE.local.md (active commitment)

2. [2026-02-02] "Prefers tabs over spaces, 2-space indent"
   → Suggest: registers/preferences.md

3. [2026-02-01] "Decided to use Postgres over SQLite for scale"
   → Suggest: registers/decisions.md

4. Ask User

For each candidate, ask the user what to do:

• Promote — write to the suggested destination
• Register — write to a different register (ask which one)
• Skip — don't promote, leave in daily log
• Promote all — accept all suggestions at once

5. Execute

For each promoted item:

1. Write to the destination with proper metadata (claim, confidence, evidence, last_verified)
2. Do NOT remove from daily log (daily logs are append-only history)
3. Check for contradictions with existing entries before writing
4. Assign a durable ID: For single-line list items promoted to CLAUDE.local.md or registers, append a ^tr ID (10 random lowercase hex chars). Create or update memory/.recall/metadata.json with an entry for the new ID (created_at, last_reviewed_at = now, pinned: false, snoozed_until: null, status: "active", tier from destination file). Create memory/.recall/ directory if needed. Write metadata.json with sorted keys.

6. Summary

Promotion complete:
  → 2 entries promoted to registers
  → 1 entry promoted to CLAUDE.local.md
  → 1 entry skipped

CLAUDE.local.md word count: [N]/1500

Warn if CLAUDE.local.md is approaching the 1500 word limit.
