Operate a Git-backed Archivum as durable agent memory for projects, research, decisions, meetings, tasks, sources, and outputs. Use when the user asks to capture, find, connect, update, audit, or resume work in an Archivum, or to initialize an Archivum workspace. Do not use merely because a repository contains Markdown.

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

# Archivum

Make useful work survive the conversation. Search before creating, preserve evidence and maturity, and write durable state back to the correct record.

## Resolve the workspace

Use this order:

1. Use a path the user explicitly supplied.
2. Use `ARCHIVUM_ROOT` when set.
3. From the current directory, walk upward for both `config.yaml` and `00_meta/`.
4. If several Archivums are plausible, show the candidates and ask which one. Never guess.

If no Archivum exists and the user asks to create one, initialize from `https://github.com/AntreasAntoniou/archivum`. Do not clone or create a workspace without permission.

## Orient with bounded context

1. Read `AGENTS.md` when present.
2. Read `00_meta/workspace_profile.md`, `00_meta/workspace_state.md`, and `config.yaml`.
3. Inspect `git status --short` and preserve unrelated changes.
4. Run `archivum status` when available, or inspect recent files and active projects directly.
5. Search with `rg` or `rg --files`; load only records relevant to the request.

Do not recursively read the whole archive as an initialization ritual. Large Archivums must remain usable without fitting into one context window.

## Think independently
…

Read the whole file at its exact version.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add antreasantoniou/archivum/archivum@sha256:f4120cc4c6f7574b

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260719.65e8892, 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.
