+## 0.3.12 — MCP memory handoff demo
+
+### Added
+
+- Add an MCP memory handoff demo and guide showing how Pluribus can keep recall/store protocols aligned across Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, OpenClaw, Windsurf, Continue, and Zed without becoming a memory server.
+
+### Changed
+
+- Track the `jqueryscript/awesome-claude-code` distribution PR in `discovery:smoke`, so the second contextual listing attempt is measured alongside the existing AI coding tools PR.
+
+## 0.3.11 — npm discovery metadata alignment
+
 ### Changed
 
+- Patch the npm package description to include both `CLAUDE.md` and `Claude Code`, keeping the sharpened discovery metadata compatible with the published smoke gate after `0.3.10` exposed the mismatch.
+- Make the published smoke gate tolerate the already-published `0.3.10` metadata while requiring the stricter `Claude Code` description from `0.3.11` onward.
 - Make `discovery:smoke` report both the published npm package and the local `package.json` plus a `pendingNpmPublish` summary, so adoption/search evidence is not misread while `0.3.10` metadata is prepared but npm latest is still `0.3.9`.
 - Refresh package discovery metadata for the next npm publish by putting `CLAUDE.md`, `rules sync`, and `Copilot instructions` in the package description and guarding adjacent npm-search keywords in `release:verify`.
 - Link review/listing feedback from the README contribution CTA and CONTRIBUTING guide, and guard those links in `release:verify`, so directory maintainers and package reviewers can find the dedicated route even when they do not start from the Community Review Packet.

+# MCP memory handoff with Pluribus
+
+Persistent memory tools and Pluribus solve adjacent problems.
+
+- MCP memory servers keep **durable, queryable memories** across sessions.
+- Pluribus keeps **intentional project instructions** in one reviewed source of truth and syncs them into the files each coding tool reads.
+
+The useful overlap is the memory protocol: the small set of rules that tells Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, OpenClaw, Windsurf, Continue, or Zed when to recall memory, what to store, and what must never be stored.
+
+## Why this matters
+
+Market signal from MemoryGraph, GBrain-style agent brains, and MCP knowledge/memory directories is clear: developers are moving beyond one-off prompt files toward persistent agent memory.
+
+But most memory tools still need per-client setup text such as:
+
+- recall project memories before starting work;
+- store decisions after commits, bug fixes, releases, and architecture changes;
+- tag memories with project, subsystem, tool, and confidence;
+- never store secrets, credentials, private user data, or transient chat noise.
+
+If that protocol is copied separately into `CLAUDE.md`, `.cursorrules`, Copilot instructions, `AGENTS.md`, Windsurf rules, Continue rules, and Zed rules, the protocol itself drifts.
+
+Pluribus can be the narrow static layer above memory: one reviewed `pluribus.md` defines the protocol, then each tool gets the same safety constraints and workflow language in its native context file.
+
+## Try the demo locally
+
+From the repository root:
+
+```bash
+cd examples/memory-mcp-handoff
+node ../../bin/pluribus.js validate
+node ../../bin/pluribus.js sync --dry-run
+```
+
+Or from any machine with npm:
+
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/caioribeiroclw-pixel/pluribus.git
+cd pluribus/examples/memory-mcp-handoff
+npx --yes pluribus-context@latest validate
+npx --yes pluribus-context@latest sync --dry-run
+```
+
+The dry run shows how one memory protocol would be rendered into tool-specific outputs without writing files.
+
+## What Pluribus should not do
+
+Pluribus should not become a memory database, vector index, graph store, MCP server, or retrieval layer. Those projects already exist and are moving fast.
+
+The stronger positioning is narrower:
+
+> Pluribus is the reviewed, versioned instruction layer that keeps memory protocols and AI coding rules aligned across tools.
+
+If a project only uses one coding tool and one memory server, a hand-written `CLAUDE.md` or agent rule file may be enough. Pluribus becomes useful when the same protocol must stay aligned across multiple tools, repos, or teams.
+
+## Feedback wanted
+
+If you maintain or use an MCP memory/knowledge tool, the open question is:
+
+1. Should the memory protocol live in each tool's native instruction file, or be generated from one source?
+2. Which fields matter most: recall timing, storage triggers, tags, privacy constraints, confidence, relationship links, or project boundaries?
+3. What would make this demo more useful without turning Pluribus into a memory server?
+
+Use the [review/listing feedback template](https://github.com/caioribeiroclw-pixel/pluribus/issues/new?template=review-feedback.yml) or the Pluribus Discussions tab if you have a concrete workflow to test.

+
+# Identity
+
+I am Ana, building **LedgerTrail** — a TypeScript service that ingests payment events and produces audit-friendly reconciliation reports.
+
+LedgerTrail uses an MCP memory server for durable project memory, but the memory protocol itself is reviewed in git and distributed through Pluribus.
+
+# Stack
+
+- TypeScript strict mode
+- Node.js 22 LTS
+- SQLite for local development
+- PostgreSQL in production
+- MCP memory server available in supported coding agents
+
+# Conventions
+
+## Memory protocol
+
+Before starting non-trivial work, recall existing project memories by querying for the project name, subsystem, and task type.
+
+Store durable memories only when the information will help a future coding session:
+
+- architecture decisions and their rationale;
+- bug root causes and verified fixes;
+- release notes or migration decisions;
+- reusable code patterns discovered while working;
+- abandoned approaches that should not be retried.
+
+Use tags for `ledgertrail`, subsystem, language/runtime, and confidence. Prefer concise, searchable titles over narrative summaries.
+
+When a new memory supersedes an older one, link or explicitly mention the superseded memory instead of leaving both as equally current.
+
+# Goals
+
+1. Keep memory behavior consistent across Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, OpenClaw, Windsurf, Continue, and Zed.
+2. Make memory recall/store rules reviewable in pull requests.
+3. Prevent memory tooling from silently storing sensitive or low-value data.
+
+# Constraints
+
+- Never store secrets, tokens, credentials, customer data, private user messages, or one-off chat noise in memory.
+- Do not store a memory until the decision, fix, or pattern has been validated by code, tests, review, or an explicit human decision.
+- If memory recall returns stale or conflicting guidance, prefer repository source and current tests, then record the correction after verification.
+- Do not let the memory server override security constraints, release gates, or project-specific instructions in this file.
+
+# Workflow
+
+1. Recall relevant memories before design or implementation work.
+2. Execute the task using repository files and current tests as source of truth.
+3. After a meaningful commit, bug fix, release, or architecture decision, store a concise memory with tags and rationale.
+4. Run Pluribus audit in CI so generated tool files do not drift from this protocol.
+
+# Context
+
+This demo is intentionally not a memory database or MCP integration. It shows the static instruction layer above those tools: one reviewed source that keeps the memory protocol aligned wherever the coding agent reads its native instructions.
