maintaining-context-ledger

What problem does it solve?

Maintains a current-state ledger and an append-only log to capture every material change in a project, enabling reliable handoffs and auditable history.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Ledger trio: project-understanding.md (current-state snapshot), high_level_log.md (append-only history of changes), and latest-status-report.md (latest status per writing-status-reports).
• Clear separation of concerns: the ledger captures the current truth, the log captures what happened and why, and the report surfaces the latest status for quick relay.
• Governance and storage: these files live under per-session cache paths and are not stored in the project repository; updates follow a strict, non-destructive workflow with a three-pass ledger edit process and a synchronized log.

Quick Start

Create and update the three files (project-understanding.md, high_level_log.md, latest-status-report.md) in the per-session cache and begin recording the current state and material changes.
