# Studio Memory

Studio Memory converts approved reviews, playtests, experiments, decisions and lessons learned into traceable knowledge items.

## Purpose

The system records what was tested, which results were measured, which decision was taken, why that decision was taken, and which evidence supports it.

## Architecture

- `studio-memory/generated/` contains draft items created by ingestion.
- `studio-memory/knowledge/` contains official approved memory items.
- `studio-memory/indexes/` contains generated search indexes.
- `production/status/studio-memory-status.json` feeds the Studio Dashboard.
- `production/reports/studio-memory-report.md` gives a human-readable report.

## Approval

Only approved reviews can publish approved memory items. AI may generate drafts, but may not independently set decision items to approved.

## Query

Use `pnpm memory:query -- --domain movement` or filter by feature, type, tag, status, text or id.

## Graph Integration

Approved items may be represented as graph nodes of type `memory` and linked using `derived_from`, `supported_by`, `resulted_in`, `supersedes`, `affects`, `references` and `validated_by`.
