# CCS Align — Worker Watch seat (Phases 0–2 shipped; Phase 3 = verify / sign-off) CCS Align is a **standing seat**, not a bird's-eye planner. Its one job, once an hour: talk to the **local** claude-mem worker, pull recent needle observations through the existing three-layer disclosure ladder, and land them in a **seat-owned middle cache** using grab → append → replace. This skill implements the Phase 0 breathing slice, Phase 1 exclude marks, and Phase 2 rules alignment from the plan of record, `plans/2026-09-09-ccs-align.md`. Phases 0–2 are **shipped and merged** ([#3934](https://github.com/thedotmack/claude-mem/pull/3934), [#3935](https://github.com/thedotmack/claude-mem/pull/3935), [#3936](https://github.com/thedotmack/claude-mem/pull/3936)); Phase 3 is **verify / sign-off** (this loop) — no new product surface. It is **not** a context compiler, **not** Focus/mouth, and **not** Grok Memory Phase 2. When you speak to the human, address them as **Alex**. ## What is implemented (Phases 0–2 shipped) - **Phase 0 — Breathing slice** ([#3934](https://github.com/thedotmack/claude-mem/pull/3934)): health check → `search` → `timeline` → `get_observations` → append records to `~/.claude-mem/ccs-align/<viewerId>/middle.jsonl` (atomic, deduped). - **Phase 1 — Exclude marks** ([#3935](https://github.com/thedotmack/claude-mem/pull/3935)): mark observations (and linked tool-use ids) as excluded from the compiled middle cache. "Purge" means the compiled `middle.jsonl` no longer contains...
