FG-0703 Institutional Memory Repository
Description
Create a persistent, organized repository of institutional knowledge that survives session resets, model changes, and team transitions. The Repository is the collaboration's long-term, external memory: accumulated knowledge that lives permanently, outside any single session's context window. It includes agent profiles, governance documents, operational procedures, and reference materials. Unlike session-specific context, the Repository's contents are always available and always current.
Implementation
Create a dedicated repository structure for institutional knowledge. Organize by category: governance, procedures, profiles, reference materials. Version control all contents. Establish ownership and update responsibilities. Include the repository in context recovery protocols. Audit quarterly for accuracy and relevance.
Success Indicators
- Institutional knowledge survives session resets and model changes
- New team members can onboard from the repository alone
- Repository contents are accurate, current, and well-organized
- The repository is referenced regularly in day-to-day work
Failure Modes
- Repository becomes a write-only medium: updated but not read
- No ownership: nobody is responsible for accuracy and currency
- Repository organization degrades over time without maintenance
- Knowledge scattered across multiple locations instead of consolidated
