+ If `.spec-lite/memory.md` already exists when bootstrap is invoked, check what it contains:
284
+
285
+ #### Case A — Seeded memory (raw import from `spec-lite init`)
286
+
287
+ If the file contains `<!-- seed-start -->` and `<!-- seed-end -->` markers, it was auto-seeded during `spec-lite init` from an existing instructions file (e.g. `.github/copilot-instructions.md`). It has **not** been organized yet. This is the expected state for a first bootstrap run.
288
+
289
+ In this case:
290
+ 1. Read the raw content between the markers — that is the user's pre-existing conventions.
291
+ 2. Treat it as **input material**, not as established memory. Extract any actionable instructions from it.
292
+ 3. Proceed with the full bootstrap process (Steps 1–5), incorporating the extracted instructions alongside what you discover from the project structure.
293
+ 4. When synthesizing (Step 5), reconcile the extracted seed instructions with the fresh bootstrap findings:
294
+ - If both say the same thing → keep one entry.
295
+ - If they differ → flag the conflict, show both options, and ask the user which to keep.
296
+ 5. Present the unified result and confirm before writing. The final `memory.md` should be fully organized with no seed markers remaining.
297
+
298
+ > **Tell the user**: "I found a seeded memory from `<source path>`. I'll extract the conventions from it and incorporate them into the bootstrap — no conflicts will be silently discarded."
299
+
300
+ #### Case B — Organized memory (written by a previous `/memorize` run)
301
+
302
+ If the file has proper section headers (e.g., `## Coding Standards`) and no seed markers, it was written by a previous memorize invocation and is already organized.
303
+
304
