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).

| Braid texts gap analysis | Which L2 constitutional braid source texts are missing from the chamber-library (Desktop folder can be deleted after filing) | project |
Gap analysis done 2026-03-28, updated 2026-04-05. The braid extractions (constitutional record) live in CapableMind-AI/docs/thinking/David/l2-constitution/archive/braid-extractions/ (1-8). Those stay.
The source texts on Desktop (__CapableMind to dos/_Archived/L2 Source Audit/Braid texts/) are raw PDFs/txt files. Several already exist in the chamber-library (Harrison, Aristotle, Confucius). Also now in library: Derrida Mal d'Archive (COMPLETE 2026-04-05), ARN, Pirkei Avot. Missing from library:
- Halbertal — People of the Book (Rabbinic, PDF+txt)
- Matilal — Perception (Indian, PDF+txt)
- Nussbaum — The Fragility of Goodness (Greek, PDF+txt)
- Didi-Huberman — L'image survivante (Warburg, PDF)
- Wilson — Research Is Ceremony (Indigenous, PDF+txt)
- Smith — Decolonizing Methodologies (Indigenous, PDF)
- al-Suyuti — Perfect Guide to Quran Sciences + Science of Hadith (Islamic, PDFs+txt)
- Book of Rites (Liji) + Xunzi (Chinese, PDFs+txt)
- Warburg — Schlangenritual (Warburg, PDF+txt)
Why: Filing these completes the chamber-library's constitutional provenance. Once done, the Desktop folder is redundant.
How to apply: Use pdftotext for extraction (AI agents blocked by content filtering on copyrighted texts). The .txt files on Desktop are already OCR'd — just need frontmatter and filing. Template proven with ARN extraction. Do after ARN extraction is verified as Chamber-citable.
