Documentation

README

Excerpt

Write a note to memory, applying the write gate. Default destination: daily log.

The user's note: $ARGUMENTS

Write Gate Protocol

Before writing, evaluate:

Does it change future behavior? (preference, boundary, recurring pattern) → WRITE
Is it a commitment with consequences? (deadline, deliverable, follow-up) → WRITE
Is it a decision with rationale? (why X over Y, worth preserving) → WRITE
Is it a stable fact that will matter again? (not transient, not obvious) → WRITE
Did the user explicitly say "remember this"? → ALWAYS WRITE

If NONE of these are true, tell the user why it didn't pass the gate. Suggest /recall-log for raw capture without the gate.

Default: Write to Daily Log
