name	c-11-memory-carryover-from-branch
description	Carry richer onboarding memory from a source branch into official memory only when the corresponding code has landed on the official branch.

c-11-memory-carryover-from-branch Memory Carryover From Branch

Use this skill when a protected official code branch receives delayed or batched merges, while a developer has accumulated richer onboarding on another branch. The source branch may be a personal workbench branch, an individual feature branch, or a handpicked branch processed as part of a larger reconciliation pass.

The c-11-memory-carryover-from-branch skill is not a Git merge. It is a selective memory reconciliation step. It proves which source-branch code changes are represented in the official branch, then carries only the corresponding onboarding into official memory and refreshes verification metadata against the official code commit.

MCP Tools

Use the Agents Remember MCP memory carryover tools as the normal installed runtime entry point:

memory_carryover_plan(repo_id="<repo-id>", source_memory="<source-memory-repo>", official_code_ref="<official-ref>", source_code_ref="<source-ref>", old_base="<base-ref-or-sha>")
memory_carryover_apply(repo_id="<repo-id>", source_memory="<source-memory-repo>", official_code_ref="<official-ref>", source_code_ref="<source-ref>", old_base="<base-ref-or-sha>", intent_note="<developer intent>")

Run memory_carryover_plan first. Use memory_carryover_apply only after reviewing the candidate report. Apply mutates official memory only; it does not move code branches. The skill tree is instruction-only; installed and development workflows use the MCP/package route.

Evidence Tiers

• exact-landed-commit: at least one commit that touched the source path on the source branch is an ancestor of the official code ref.
• patch-id-match: the old-base-to-source-branch patch for the source path matches the old-base-to-official patch.
• final-content-match: the source file content at the source branch ref matches the content at the official ref.
• same-path-changed: both branches changed the same source path, but the c-11-memory-carryover-from-branch skill did not prove equivalent code.
• not-landed: the source path changed on the source branch but not on the official branch.

Only proven tiers are auto-carry candidates. Same-path overlap is review-required by default because another developer may have changed the same file independently.

Output States

• would-carryover: dry-run plan with candidate decisions.
• carried-over: official memory content and ledger commits were created.
• nothing-to-carryover: no selected candidate changed official memory.
• blocked: apply was requested without approval, dirty official memory, missing ledger, or missing required candidate data.

Boundaries

1. The c-11-memory-carryover-from-branch skill must not copy source branch memory for code that did not land.
2. The c-11-memory-carryover-from-branch skill must not copy source branch ledger rows into official memory.
3. The c-11-memory-carryover-from-branch skill must refresh carried onboarding metadata to the official code commit, not the source branch commit.
4. The c-11-memory-carryover-from-branch skill must not auto-carry same-path-only evidence.
5. The c-11-memory-carryover-from-branch skill must not overwrite existing different official onboarding unless replace_existing=true or explicit review-required inclusion is used.
6. The c-02-memory-quality-control skill remains the branch-accuracy drift detector; the c-11-memory-carryover-from-branch skill only imports richer memory whose code validity has been proven or explicitly approved.
