Setup Memory Files

Sentinel

Check which memory files already exist:

MEMORY_DIR="$HOME/.claude/projects/-Users-jasonwalsh-ghq-github-com-jwalsh-emacs-mcp-maximalist/memory"
for f in project_state.md user_role.md feedback_style.md; do
  test -f "$MEMORY_DIR/$f" && echo "EXISTS: $f" || echo "MISSING: $f"
done
test -f "$MEMORY_DIR/../MEMORY.md" && echo "EXISTS: MEMORY.md" || echo "MISSING: MEMORY.md"

• If all four files exist: report "memory already configured" with a summary of each file's content. Stop unless $ARGUMENTS contains --force.
• If some exist: only create the missing ones. Do not overwrite existing files (they may contain user corrections from prior sessions).
• If MEMORY.md exists but is missing pointers to files that exist: update the index only.

Create structured memory files so a fresh Claude session can resume work on this project without cold-start amnesia.
