'Memory verbs' names the library's curation of `.abcd/memory/`, while `/abcd:memory` is a separate verb over memory notes
'Memory verbs' names the library's curation of .abcd/memory/, while /abcd:memory is a separate verb over memory notes
A naming conflict (severity minor) found by the cross-document consistency pass.
- End A:
.abcd/development/brief/05-internals/03-configuration.md:1139— "New projects use.abcd/memory/, the substrateabcd librarycurates through its memory verbs." - End B:
.abcd/development/brief/04-surfaces/37-memory.md:3— "/abcd:memorykeeps memory notes: short lessons an agent writes so that a later session does not learn them again"
The configuration chapter says the repository's .abcd/memory/ substrate is curated by abcd library through its memory verbs. The memory chapter gives the name memory to a top-level verb that keeps short notes in memory.json files. The one name now covers two different stores side by side in .abcd/. A reader looking for the memory verbs that curate .abcd/memory/ lands on a verb that writes a different file for a different purpose.
