Excerpt

Memory Recall Protocol

Use this when the user's question may relate to past memory. Three-step fallback: ROOT.md O(1) lookup → manifest LLM selection → qmd search.

Step 1: ROOT.md Triage (O(1) — always try first)

Check ROOT.md Topics Index for the query topic.

Direct match found → read the referenced file (knowledge/, daily log date, etc.). Done.
Partial match / related topic found → read referenced file, check if it answers the query. Done if yes.
No match at all → proceed to Step 2.

Decision rule: If Topics Index contains a keyword within 1 semantic hop of the query, it's a match. "배포" matches "deployment". "CI/CD" matches "github-actions".

Step 2: Manifest-Based LLM Selection (when ROOT.md is insufficient)

This is the opening of the README. Read the full README on GitHub.
