Documentation

README

Excerpt

Add ^tr IDs to untagged memory entries in managed files. This is safe to run multiple times - it only tags entries that don't already have IDs.

What To Do

1. Identify Managed Files

Scan these locations for single-line list item entries:

CLAUDE.local.md (working memory)
memory/registers/*.md (all register files)
memory/archive/**/*.md (archived entries, if they exist as list items)

Do NOT scan memory/daily/*.md - daily logs are not managed by the remove gate.

2. Parse Entries

An entry is exactly:

A line starting with - (dash + space)
Single line only (the entire entry is on one line)
NOT inside a fenced code block (``` markers)
NOT a placeholder like - [None captured yet] or - [None yet] or - [not yet set]

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