INDEX.md

Flat registry for retrieval

INDEX.md is a generated map of memory entries. It exists so retrieval can find candidates without crawling every file path or guessing from nested folders.

Format

Keep the registry flat, deterministic, and generated. Humans edit memory entries; the generator writes the index.

| id | layer | title | path | updated | tags | verified |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| semantic-memory-routing | semantic | Routing by retrieval question | semantic/memory-routing.md | 2026-05-05 | routing,davai | 2026-05-05 |

Generator behavior

  1. Walk the seven canonical folders.
  2. Read frontmatter with a structured parser.
  3. Fall back gracefully on missing optional fields.
  4. Sort by layer, title, and path for stable diffs.
  5. Emit warnings for missing required fields once the schema is enforced.

Schema

Fields to enforce next

last_verifiedRequired for reference and procedural records; useful for semantic facts.
supersedesRequired when a decision or fact replaces earlier material.
sourceRequired when a record depends on an external authority or dated evidence.
ownerRequired for working notes and operational procedures.
