SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Attach PersonalBrain to provide a minimal, durable memory layer that links tasks to a persistent PersonalBrain repository for routing, retrieval, and cross-machine awareness.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Lightweight attachment that auto-detects a PersonalBrain root using common anchors (AGENTS.md, 40_governance/catalog.jsonl) and falls back safely when none exist.
  • Maintains clear memory boundaries between the current workspace and external repos, enabling durable notes, routing, and project signals.
  • Use Case: teams or individuals who repeatedly reference the same external context across tasks can attach once and reuse anchors for consistent context.

Quick Start

Run the attach-personalbrain skill to connect this task to the nearest PersonalBrain root and initialize project-aware memory.

FAQPage Schema
How do I attach a persistent memory layer for routing and retrieval across tasks?

To attach a persistent memory layer, you connect your current workspace to a PersonalBrain repository. This provides a durable bridge for routing, retrieval, and cross-machine awareness while keeping memory usage opt-in and repo-local.

What is project-aware memory and how does it work with external repos?

Project-aware memory links your current task to a persistent repository by auto-detecting anchors like AGENTS.md and catalog.jsonl. It maintains clear boundaries between your workspace and external repos for safe, cross-repo context.

How do I connect my workspace to a PersonalBrain root automatically?

You connect by running the attachment skill, which automatically detects common anchors such as AGENTS.md and 40_governance/catalog.jsonl. If no anchors exist, it safely falls back to a default root to initialize the connection.

Can I use project-aware memory safely across multiple repositories?

Yes, you can use project-aware memory safely across multiple repositories. The attachment maintains clear memory boundaries between the current workspace and external repos, ensuring opt-in, repo-local usage without cross-contamination.

What happens if AGENTS.md or catalog.jsonl anchors are missing during memory attachment?

If anchors like AGENTS.md or catalog.jsonl are missing, the memory attachment safely falls back to a default root. This ensures the persistent memory layer initializes without failing when standard detection files are absent.

Do I need a PersonalBrain repository to enable project-aware routing?

Yes, you need a PersonalBrain repository to enable project-aware routing. The attachment acts as a lightweight bridge linking your current task to this external repository for durable notes and project signals.
