/abcd:memory is itd-36's curated knowledge store with ingest, ask and lint, and also the README's command for short lessons agents keep.
A naming conflict (severity minor) found by the cross-document consistency pass.
- End A:
.abcd/development/brief/04-surfaces/README.md:48— "Keep short lessons an agent would otherwise relearn, stamped with who wrote them" - End B:
.abcd/development/intents/shipped/itd-36-memory-unification.md:41— "/abcd:memorycommand with sub-verbsingest/ask/lint."
itd-36's scope defines /abcd:memory as the command with sub-verbs ingest, ask and lint over the .abcd/memory/ store, whose verbs have since merged into library. The README's register lists /abcd:memory as the notes command that keeps short lessons an agent would otherwise relearn, stored in memory.json. itd-36 records the merge but not the reuse of the name, so one name stands for two different stores with different verbs.
Evidence: .abcd/work/reviews/2026-10-26-consistency/00-summary.md, finding 893.
Grounds
- declined: Closed in the 2026-10-27 triage (dcn-2610271112330536) as a duplicate of iss-2610262038000309. Same itd-36 scope line against the register's memory row.

- dcn-26102711123305362026-10-27 — The product thinker accepted on 2026-10-27 the triage of the 1301 records the 2026-10-26 consistency pass filed. The duplicates, the records a later record already settles, the ones that are no contradiction and the one already fixed are closed with each reader's reason. Every other record gets its fix as its remedy, the rulings' accepted answers included, so a drain can take it. The 45 major records left open are deferred past v0.15.1, because the brief's single-home rewrite rewrites or removes most of the passages they quote. The person ruled the major rulings one at a time; the minor rulings take their recommended answers.
- iss-2610262038000309itd-36 ships /abcd:memory as the ingest, ask and lint knowledge substrate under .abcd/memory/; the memory chapter's /abcd:memory keeps agents' memory notes with add, list and remove.
