# Codon Codon gives every memory an address. You navigate to it — you don't search for it. ## Setup If `MEMORY/` does not exist in this workspace, run it once: ``` bash {baseDir}/init.sh ``` ## How to store 1. Choose the right category from the taxonomy below 2. Assign the next available ID in that category (check `XX.00-index.md`) 3. Write to `MEMORY/<area>/<XX.YY-description>.md` 4. Add the ID to the category's index file **Example:** new client contact → `MEMORY/10-19-People/10.01-acme-jane-smith.md` ## How to recall Navigate by ID prefix — don't search, locate: - "Who are my contacts?" → read files in `MEMORY/10-19-People/` - "What projects are active?" → read files in `MEMORY/20-29-Projects/` - "Find the Acme notes" → look for `10-19-People/10.XX-acme-*` ## Default taxonomy | Area | Name | Examples | |------|------|---------| | 10-19 | People | Contacts, clients, team members | | 20-29 | Projects | Active and past work | | 30-39 | Resources | Tools, docs, links, references | | 40-49 | Work | Tasks, decisions, meeting notes | ## Rules - Existing `memory.md` is preserved. Use `MEMORY/` for all new entries. - If something fits two categories, prefer the more specific one. A person who is also a project contact goes in **10-19 People**, not 20-29. - Index files (`XX.00-index.md`) track which IDs are taken. Always update them. - IDs are never reused, even after deletion.
