Mandates the use of the vipune memory CLI as the primary persistent memory store for software development agents. Search vipune at the start of any task to discover prior decisions, conventions, pitfalls, and validated patterns. Save new findings as typed memories—code conventions, architectural decisions, failed approaches, quality-gate gotchas, and ADR-lite rationale—at task boundaries. Covers issue/PR linkage, experiment tracking, pre-flight gotcha checks, dev-loop phase mapping, lightweight ADR capture, the 5-type memory taxonomy (fact/preference/procedure/guard/observation), active/candidate split, mandatory freshness verification, contradiction handling via --supersedes, and the hard prohibition on storing secrets.
