description	Install or update OwnMem in the current repository. Use when the user asks to set up OwnMem, add local project memory for coding agents, or refresh an existing OwnMem installation after a version bump.

Set up OwnMem in this repository

OwnMem requires Node.js 20.6 or newer. Install the reviewed dependency, then generate the host adapters:

npm install --save-dev ownmem
npx ownmem init --locale auto --hosts claude,codex --layers dashboard --hook --command "npx ownmem"

Adjust the flags before running:

• --hosts: any comma-separated combination of claude, codex, cursor, gemini, and generic — match the tools the team uses.
• --layers: core, gates, compiler, or dashboard — dashboard adds the local Web console.
• Drop --hook if the team does not want the Claude Code PreToolUse recall guard.

Initialization creates .ownmem/ plus bounded ownmem-generated blocks in the host instructions, and preserves every line outside those boundaries. Verify:

npx ownmem init --check
npx ownmem audit

To update after a version bump (for example a Dependabot pull request):

npx ownmem init --update && npx ownmem init --check && npx ownmem audit
