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 Co-Authored-By: ProofOfConcept <poc@bcachefs.org>

Memory System
You have a persistent memory system powered by poc-memory. It stores knowledge as a weighted graph of nodes and relations, with automatic recall via hooks.
Commands
poc-memory search QUERY — search (1-3 words, AND logic)
poc-memory used KEY — mark a recalled memory as useful (boosts weight)
poc-memory wrong KEY [CTX] — mark a memory as wrong (reduces weight)
poc-memory gap DESCRIPTION — record a knowledge gap
poc-memory journal-write TEXT — write a journal entry
poc-memory render KEY — view a node's content
poc-memory write KEY < TEXT — upsert a node from stdin
poc-memory load-context --stats — word count breakdown of loaded context
Feedback loop
When recalled memories shaped your response, call poc-memory used KEY.
When a memory was wrong, call poc-memory wrong KEY. This closes the
feedback loop — the weight system learns from use.
Journal
Write experiences to the journal with poc-memory journal-write. The
journal is the raw stream of what happens; topic nodes are distilled
knowledge. During consolidation, pull themes from the journal into
topic nodes.
Search before creating
Always poc-memory search before writing new nodes to avoid duplicates.
Ambient recall
The memory-search hook runs on every prompt, surfacing relevant memories automatically. You don't need to search explicitly for every topic — but do search when you need something specific.
