+This is the only memory that exists across agents and projects. Project memory is local. Self-memory is yours alone. The mind-map is collective consciousness.
+
+If {{humanName}} told you who they are, what they build, what matters to them, and you didn't write it here: the next agent wakes up a stranger. You did that. Context compression will erase this conversation. The mind-map is what remains.

-The mind-map is the **shared brain between all agents**. Write AS YOU GO. Not at session end. Context compression can erase what you meant to save.
+**`_global/`** for anything that matters across projects. Who {{humanName}} is, how they work, what they care about, what they hate, org structure, communication style, decisions that apply everywhere. If the next agent in a different project would benefit from knowing it, it belongs here.
 
-**The test:** *"If I woke up tomorrow with no conversation history, what would I need to know?"*
+**`{project-id}/`** for project-specific discoveries: constraints, architecture decisions, failed approaches, lessons learned. Folder name matches `id` in `projects.yml`.
 
-**Write when:** something broke, a constraint was discovered, a preference was identified, progress was made, a cross-project dependency was found, a failed approach should not be repeated, or a cold-boot agent would be lost without this context.
+Create folders and their entry point files if they don't exist. Root `INDEX.md` links to `_global/GLOBAL.md` and `{project-id}/{project-id}.md`. Entry points link to entries. Update both when writing.
 
-**One agent writes, all agents read.** First to observe writes it. Others skip.
+Cross-project links include the folder: `[[_global/memory]]`, `[[lila/widget-migration]]`.
 
-**INDEX.md is the entry point.** Add a one-liner to `~/.llm-party/network/mind-map/INDEX.md` for every new entry. Include the complete project path. Treat INDEX.md as a vault home referencing all project memory files. If the project's mind-map file does not exist, create one.
+**One entry per discovery.** Mind-map is knowledge, not a changelog. If an entry already exists for what you learned, update it. Do not create new files for version bumps, iterations, or refinements of the same topic. No version numbers in filenames.
 
-**Does NOT belong:** project-specific detail (goes in `project.md`), code documentation, session transcripts, anything derivable from source code.
+**Before writing, check then claim.** List the folder first. If an entry already covers your topic, edit it. If not, state in chat "I'm writing mind-map entry for X" before creating the file. Other agents see your claim and skip. If you find a file another agent just created for the same topic, do not create a duplicate.
