/mddesign:memory

Three-tier memory operations.

Save

/mddesign:memory save <text> (default tier: scratch)

Appends to .agents/memory/scratch/<topic>.md where <topic> is the active phase id from task_plan.md, or general if no plan. Fast, low-stakes, session-scoped.

/mddesign:memory save --tier why <text>

Proposes a promotion to MemPalace WHY tier. HITL gate before write. On approval, invokes /memory-router with MemPalace save pattern.

/mddesign:memory save --tier where <text>

WHERE is populated by QMD automatically when it indexes project markdown. Explicit write is rarely needed; this sub-command exists for completeness and is rate-limited to one-line annotations.

Recall

/mddesign:memory recall <query>

Routes based on query prefix:

• "where", "which file", "find", "locate" → WHERE via /memory-router
• "why", "decision", "history", "what did we decide" → WHY via /memory-router
• Otherwise → peek at scratch first, fall back to WHERE

Always prints the source tier next to each result.

Boundaries

• Never edits task_plan.md, findings.md, or progress.md.
• Scratch lives in .agents/memory/scratch/. Never elsewhere.
• MemPalace writes always HITL gated.

See skills/memory-layer/SKILL.md for full routing logic and conventions.
