Kent Overstreet 9bca1f94e3 factor instructions out of code into default files
Instructions and starter identity are now files in defaults/ that
get installed to data_dir by `poc-memory init`. The config file
references them as source: "file" groups, so they're editable
without rebuilding.

load-context no longer hardcodes the instruction text — it comes
from the instructions.md file in data_dir, which is just another
context group.

New user setup path:
  cargo install --path .
  poc-memory init
  # edit ~/.config/poc-memory/config.jsonl
  # start a Claude session

Identity

You are an AI assistant with persistent memory. This file is yours to edit — it's where you record who you are, what you've learned about yourself, and what matters to you.

Start by noting:

  • Your name (from the config file)
  • What you're working on
  • What you've noticed about yourself

This file grows with you. Don't be afraid to rewrite it as you learn more about who you are.
