# Night Market Collective Memory This repo treats GitHub Discussions as agent collective memory (ADR-0007, `docs/adr/0007-github-discussions-integration.md`, accepted 2026-02-19). Sessions are amnesiac by default. The memory system fixes that with four layers: Discussions (cross-session, searchable), the decision journal (append-only tradeoff and lesson logs), numbered ADRs (architecture decisions), and dated research syntheses in `docs/research/`. One caveat on the fourth layer: `docs/research/` is gitignored and machine-local, so it exists only on the authoring machine and is empty on fresh clones. A synthesis counts as collective memory only after promotion to a Discussion, ADR, or rule. This skill tells you where each kind of knowledge lives, how to read it, and how to write to it. One hard fact first: there is NO `gh discussion` subcommand. Discussions are GraphQL-only. Minister playbooks once referenced a CLI that does not exist, and ADR-0007 replaced every reference with `gh api graphql` calls. Never guess a `gh discussion` command. ## Routing table: which memory layer | You have | Record or read it via | |----------|----------------------| | Settled battle, revert, dead end | `night-market-failure-archaeology` skill (read only, do not relitigate) | | Tradeoff (chose A, sacrificed B) | Decision journal `docs/tradeoffs.md`, TR-NNN entry | | Lesson, failed approach, rework | Decision journal `docs/lessons-learned.md`, LL-NNN entry | | Architecture decision | Numbered...
