To set up a memory repository for agent onboarding, initialize a durable memory root under the ar-memory directory using the memory_init tool to create required scaffolding like system, onboarding, and docs folders.

Initializing an internal memory scaffold creates a durable memory root that enables agents to persist onboarding context and task workflows directly within the target repository structure.

Yes, you can create an external memory repo by configuring a coordination_root, which sets up memory outside the default internal ar-memory directory structure.

You can repair missing memory scaffolding by running memory_init, which safely inspects the repository and recreates required directories like system, onboarding, and docs.

Yes, bootstrapping repository memory requires MCP tools such as memory_init and runtime_install to safely create, inspect, and repair the memory scaffold and apply safety rules.

The starter files include required directories like system, onboarding, and docs, along with starter guidance to bootstrap memory and safety rules for agent workflows.
