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.
Formal contract
Once AI-Memory exists, AI-Memory/SCHEMA.md is the source of truth for subfolder ownership, required frontmatter, and lifecycle rules (announcement expiry, feedback inbox-not-archive, knowledge-package retirement). Read it when in doubt about what an artifact should look like or when it should be pruned. This skill covers how to set up and access AI-Memory; SCHEMA.md covers what lives inside it.
If SCHEMA.md is missing on a heir's resolved AI-Memory root, the Supervisor hasn't initialized it yet. The Create operation below installs the base structure; SCHEMA.md is added by Supervisor curation, not by heirs.
