AI-Memory Setup
AI-Memory is the shared folder on the user's cloud drive where ACT heirs exchange feedback, announcements, and registry data. This skill covers detection, creation, path resolution, and ongoing read/write operations.
Supported Cloud Providers
| Provider | Folder patterns detected | Notes |
|---|
| OneDrive | OneDrive, OneDrive - * (personal, family, business) | Most common; multiple accounts create multiple folders |
| iCloud | iCloudDrive, iCloud Drive, iCloud~com~apple~CloudDocs | macOS and Windows variants |
| Dropbox | Dropbox, Dropbox (Personal), Dropbox (Business) | Personal and business variants |
| Google Drive | Google Drive, My Drive | Drive for Desktop sync folder |
| Box | Box, Box Sync | Enterprise cloud storage |
| MEGA | MEGA, MEGAsync | Encrypted cloud storage |
| pCloud | pCloud, pCloud Drive | European cloud storage |
| Nextcloud | Nextcloud | Self-hosted cloud |
Discovery scans the user's HOME directory for any folder matching these patterns. Unknown cloud drives are ignored (the user can still point to them manually via ai_memory_root).
Path Resolution Algorithm
Resolve the AI-Memory root in this order:
- Config override: read
.github/config/cognitive-config.json. If ai_memory_root is set, use <HOME>/<ai_memory_root>/AI-Memory.
- Auto-discovery: scan
<HOME> for folders matching known cloud provider patterns. Skip any folder listed in ai_memory_exclude. Among matches, prefer drives that already contain an AI-Memory/ subfolder.
