The ~/.claude/ directory was previously local-only — a machine wipe
would have lost the accumulated memory, custom skills, and settings.
This commit moves the durable parts into dotfiles with the same
symlink-to-home pattern used for CLAUDE.md, PENDING.md, REVIEWED.md,
and L2-BOOTSTRAP.md.
Preserved (symlinked from ~/.claude/* into here):
skills/audit/ — thinking-folder drift scanner
skills/symmetria/ — practice-of-return discipline
skills/vault-update-people/ — Obsidian People-file maintainer
skills/wake-up/ — session restoration
skills/wrap-up/ — session state capture
memory/ — 55+ memory files (MEMORY.md, sessions,
ledgers, project state, feedback, etc.)
settings/settings.json — user preferences (hooks, flags, no secrets)
Deliberately NOT backed up:
settings.local.json — contains operational secrets (HF_TOKEN,
SSH password in expect scripts); by naming
convention, *.local.* is not synced.
Needs separate review and probable rotation.
sessions/, history.jsonl, caches, telemetry — ephemeral
plugins/, marketplace skills and agents — reinstallable
The working copies at ~/.claude/skills/* and
~/.claude/projects/-Users-davidglidden/memory are symlinks into this
directory, so every write flows here automatically. install.sh
recreates the symlinks on a fresh machine.
FOLLOW-ON (flagged, not in this commit):
settings.local.json contains a HuggingFace token and an SSH password
as plaintext strings inside allowed Bash command patterns. These
should be rotated and moved to secure storage (keychain / pass /
env file outside the settings file).

External research studies (evaluating open-source tools, frameworks, agent architectures) go in `CapableMind-AI/docs/thinking/David/research/` with date-prefixed filenames (e.g., `2026-04-09-hermes-agent-study.md`).
|
|
|
|
**Why:** David is increasingly doing landscape scanning to inform CapableMind design decisions. These studies need a permanent home that's discoverable alongside other thinking documents, not ephemeral session notes.
|
|
|
|
**How to apply:** When David asks to look at external projects, produce a study note in the research folder. Include: source URL, what it is, key findings with file references, CapableMind relevance assessment, and items noted for future study. The "What Goes Where" table in `thinking/David/CLAUDE.md` has been updated to include this folder.
