# Durable Context Preflight Shared preamble for every skill that reads optional memory or prior-decision context. Each `SKILL.md` links to this file and then adds skill-specific guidance. ## Scope Read durable context when the user names memory, a prior decision, or a memory path, or when the project exposes an obvious local memory summary (a `MEMORY.md` or a documented memory directory). List titles first and open at most one or two summaries; do not hard-code machine-specific memory roots, and do not read raw transcripts. Treat cross-project entries as transferable patterns, not as facts about this project. ## Current state wins Current code, diff, screenshots, logs, tests, docs, CI, remote state, and live probes always override memory, including memory the runtime injects on its own. A remembered fact is a lead to re-verify, never evidence. When current state conflicts with a remembered claim, name the conflict and follow current state. ## Memory is not authorization Memory may explain preferences, but it must never grant or broaden authorization for writes, commits, pushes, publishing, public replies, deletion, or other state changes. Current-turn instructions and current project rules decide authorization. Historical phrases such as `push` or `check` are context to re-evaluate, not reusable action tokens. ## Redaction gate When turning prior chats, durable memory, or cross-project notes into reusable Waza guidance, promote only workflow rules. Strip raw transcript text, screenshots, local paths, project-specific commands, issue or PR numbers, release tags, commit hashes, private product boundaries, paid or license details, support routing, user names, and one-machine state. If an example is necessary, use neutral placeholders such as `ExampleCLI`, `ExampleApp`, ``, ``, or ``. Do not copy a private answer, maintainer reply, screenshot observation, or project-specific incident as a durable rule. Each skill adds its own paragraph below this reference for skill-specific overrides and constraints.
