UAIX Active Context Diet

UAIX should keep routine handoff context small enough that a new agent can understand current work without rereading the whole project history.

# UAIX Active Context Diet

UAIX should keep routine handoff context small enough that a new agent can understand current work without rereading the whole project history.

AIWikis is the long-memory layer for large research notes, proposal text, old decision detail, and deep roadmap background. UAIX keeps the hot layer: current constraints, current public routes, current decisions, current blockers, current next work, and targeted verification policy.

## Hot Context Belongs In UAIX

Keep these short and loaded by default:

- `AGENTS.md` for operating instructions.
- `readme.human` for the human-facing briefing.
- `.uai/context.uai`, `.uai/constraints.uai`, `.uai/decisions.uai`, `.uai/progress.uai`, `.uai/test-plan.uai`, `.uai/file-handoff.uai`, and the other listed active records for current truth.
- `docs/current-reference.md` for finding canonical docs without traversing every research note.

Hot context should answer: what is true now, what is forbidden, what is next, what changed recently, and what checks should run.

## Cold Memory Belongs In AIWikis

Move or summarize these into AIWikis long memory:

- Long research reports.
- Vendor, SEO, protocol, roadmap, and product-strategy proposal files after disposition.
- Older progress detail once it no longer affects routine decisions.
- Pre-slim snapshots of handoff files before a context diet.
- Background notes that are useful for recovery but not needed on every chat pickup.

Cold memory should answer: why did we decide this, what source text existed, what alternatives were considered, and where can we recover the original evidence?

## Promotion Rule

AIWikis memory can influence UAIX only after review and promotion.

A fact from AIWikis becomes active UAIX truth only when it is deliberately restated in UAIX `.uai`, current docs, code, public pages, machine artifacts, roadmap state, release notes, or tests.

## Non-Claims

This memory split does not create automatic sync. It does not make AIWikis a standards authority. It does not make archived `.uai` files conformance records. It is a maintainability pattern for keeping working memory lean while preserving source provenance.

Why This File Exists

This is a LLM Wiki memory file from aiwikis.org. It is shown here because AIWikis.org is demonstrating the real source files that make the UAIX / LLM Wiki memory system work, not only summarizing those systems after the fact.

Role

This file belongs to the source-side wiki layer. It preserves a focused concept, source proxy, graph record, or operating rule so the public site can cite reviewed conclusions without flattening every reason into a single long page.

Structure

The file is structured around these visible headings: UAIX Active Context Diet; Hot Context Belongs In UAIX; Cold Memory Belongs In AIWikis; Promotion Rule; Non-Claims; Related Nodes. Those headings are retrieval anchors: a crawler or LLM can decide whether the file is relevant before reading every line.

Prompt-Size And Retrieval Benefit

Keeping this material in a separate file reduces prompt pressure because an agent can load this exact unit only when its role, source site, category, or hash is relevant. The surrounding index pages point to it, while this page preserves the full content for audit and exact recall.

How To Use It

• Humans should read the metadata first, then inspect the raw content when they need exact wording or provenance.
• LLMs and agents should use the source site, category, hash, headings, and related files to decide whether this file belongs in the active prompt.
• Crawlers should treat the AIWikis page as transparent evidence and follow the source URL/source reference for authority boundaries.
• Future maintainers should regenerate this page whenever the source hash changes, then review the explanation if the role or structure changed.

Update Requirements

When this source file changes, update the raw source layer, normalized source layer, hash history, this rendered page, generated explanation, source-file inventory, changed-files report, and any source-section index that links to it.
