amcos-memory-initialization

To initialize per-team session memory, run the memory initialization workflow to create the design/memory directory and scaffold the three core documents: activeContext.md, patterns.md, and progress.md. This ensures the required session memory structure exists before agent orchestration begins.

Validating AMCOS session memory requires three core files within the design/memory directory: activeContext.md, patterns.md, and progress.md. The validation process checks that these files exist and conform to the required YAML frontmatter and structural specifications.

Session memory structures need reinitialization during new team sessions, after workflow interruptions, or when migrating memory structures. Reinitializing ensures the core memory documents exist and satisfy the initialization frontmatter requirements defined in SKILL.md.

Yes, session memory initialization works without external dependencies. It operates independently to scaffold the root memory files and validate their YAML frontmatter, requiring only the standard AMCOS memory lifecycle workflow to function properly.

Agent orchestration fails when core memory files are missing because the AMCOS memory lifecycle requires activeContext.md, patterns.md, and progress.md to exist before execution. Initializing the memory scaffold creates these artifacts and satisfies the SKILL.md frontmatter requirements to prevent failures.
