'memory' names two things: the library's in-repo memory store, whose old memory command the library chapter says was merged away, and the glossary's memory note, written with /abcd:memory add and kept on the person's machine.

A naming conflict (severity minor) found by the cross-document consistency pass.

• End A: .abcd/development/brief/glossary/core/memory-note.md:18 — "An agent writes one with /abcd:memory add when it learns something worth keeping"
• End B: .abcd/development/brief/04-surfaces/07-library.md:11 — "The command merges the two that came before it, source and memory, under"

07-library says the library command merged the earlier source and memory commands, with neither old name surviving as an alias, and calls its in-repo .abcd/memory/ pages 'the memory store'. glossary/core/memory-note.md, whose alias is 'memory', says an agent writes a memory note with /abcd:memory add and that the note stays on the person's machine until promoted. One word names a repository store of distilled source pages and a machine-local store of agent lessons, and the two pages disagree on whether a memory command exists.

Grounds

• declined: Closed in the 2026-10-27 triage (dcn-2610271112330536): the two ends do not conflict when read in full. 07-library.md says neither old name survives as an alias, which is true: abcd memory is a new command for notes (add, list, remove) and the curated pages stay under library. The README comparison section already states the name reuse and the two stores.
