 "page_title": "How to capture a hard-won lesson as reviewed memory with Ownmem",
 "summary": "Turn a debugging finding into a scaffolded memory that goes through normal code review.",
 "who": "A developer who just solved a non-obvious bug and wants the cause and fix to reach the next agent session and the next teammate.",
 "problem": "The explanation stays in a chat log or in one person's head, and the next agent repeats the investigation.",
 "outcome": "A new Markdown memory in .ownmem/ that passes the gates, committed in Git so it can be reviewed, reverted, or rejected like any other change.",
 "steps": [
  "Run `npx ownmem new <memory_slug>` to scaffold a memory that passes every gate. (inferred, check the README)",
  "Edit the generated Markdown with the cause, the evidence, and the action to take.",
  "Run `npx ownmem audit` to check the entry, if the command is available in your installed version. (inferred, check the README)",
  "Commit the memory file and open it for review with the code change that motivated it."
 ],
 "agent_prompt": "In the repository grpcer/ownmem, scaffold a memory named <memory_slug> with `npx ownmem new <memory_slug>`, then fill in the cause and the fix from <the debugging session>. Expected output: a new .ownmem/<memory_slug>.md file that passes the gates. Verify that `npx ownmem recall -- \"<a phrase from the memory>\"` returns it with an advisory trust line until evidence is attached.",
