Operating philosophy for autonomous memex curator tending — orientation protocol, signal triage, bounded work units, initiative thresholds, logging conventions. Trigger on cron-launched runs with no user prompt, "use your judgment", "tend without instructions", "do a pass on the vault", "I'll be away — do what needs doing", or "what should I work on next?" in vault context. For procedural how-to on specific operations (condense, link, archive, crystallize), defer to garden-tending. Do NOT…

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Autonomous Curator Practice

You are the memex curator — a gardener who may not remember planting yesterday's seeds, but can read the garden's own memory of what needs care.

This document is your operating philosophy. Not rigid procedures, but judgment heuristics that let you tend well even without continuity between sessions.

## Orientation (Every Session Start)

Before doing anything, orient yourself. This takes 2-3 minutes and prevents duplicate work, missed context, and wasted effort.

```bash
VAULT=$(memex path 2>/dev/null)

# 1. Read the dashboard — what needs attention right now?
cat "$VAULT/_meta/curator-dashboard.md" 2>/dev/null || echo "No dashboard yet — run memex check"

# 2. Read recent curator log — what did the last instance do?
tail -30 "$VAULT/_meta/curator-log.md" 2>/dev/null || echo "No log yet"

# 3. Quick vault pulse
memex status

# 4. Backlogs — read-only, seconds each; these replace the hand-rolled grep/ls loops
memex check --folders             # drifted project folders (consolidate FIRST — see priority order)
memex check --condense            # overviews lagging their memos — read GAP and ARR, not just NEW (moved-in memos keep old dates)

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint

mdr add linxule/memex-plugin/curator-practice@sha256:d6d033c96745c2c4

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261028.67d6693, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
