UAIX Memory Maintenance

Every UAIX memory package MUST contain .uai/memory-maintenance.uai. No exceptions. Missing or invalid .uai/memory-maintenance.uai makes the package non-compliant.

# Memory Maintenance

Every UAIX memory package MUST contain `.uai/memory-maintenance.uai`. No exceptions. Missing or invalid `.uai/memory-maintenance.uai` makes the package non-compliant.

`.uai/memory-maintenance.uai` governs memory lifecycle, hot/cold boundaries, compaction cadence, archival policy, promotion and demotion rules, access controls, active instruction anchors, review gates, validation behavior, and memory write safety.

## Universal Required Files

- `.uai/memory-maintenance.uai`
- `.uai/identity.uai`
- `.uai/world-context.uai`
- `.uai/totem.uai`
- `.uai/taboo.uai`
- `.uai/talisman.uai`
- `.uai/short-term-memory.uai`

## Active Instruction Anchors

The following paths are required for every launch-baseline UAIX memory or handoff package and must be read and obeyed before broad execution:

- `.uai/totem.uai`
- `.uai/taboo.uai`
- `.uai/talisman.uai`

Agents must not modify, weaken, replace, delete, or bypass those anchors unless a human directly names the exact artifact and exact operation. Suggestions and permission requests are allowed; anchor mutation is forbidden without direct authorization.

## UAIX.org Local Policy

- Read this file before broad local memory loading.
- Read `.uai/identity.uai`, `.uai/world-context.uai`, `.uai/totem.uai`, `.uai/taboo.uai`, `.uai/talisman.uai`, and `.uai/short-term-memory.uai` before broad execution.
- Keep current working truth in focused hot `.uai` records and move bulky history into reviewed long-memory or archive evidence.
- Preserve source authority: current human instruction, `AGENTS.md`, `.uai/readme.human`, typed `.uai` records, public UAIX source, release notes, validators, and tests must agree before widening support claims.
- Record accepted memory changes in `.uai/short-term-memory.uai`, `.uai/progress.uai`, `.uai/intake-outcome-ledger.uai`, or the focused typed record that owns the fact.
- Use only `.uai`, `.human`, and `.json` extensions for files stored inside `.uai/` or its subfolders. Agents may add focused local files when helpful, but AI-readable text, instructions, memory, evidence, and text exports should use `.uai`; human-operator explanations should use `.human`; structured data should use `.json`.

Why This File Exists

This is a UAI AI Memory handoff file from uaix.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 .uai file is a compact memory-maintenance packet. It keeps one kind of durable project truth separate from the rest of the archive so an agent can load the topic it needs without pulling the whole project history into prompt context.

Structure

The file is structured around these visible headings: Memory Maintenance; Universal Required Files; Active Instruction Anchors; UAIX.org Local Policy. 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.
