Until opencode session-stopping hooks land upstream, mempalace-session
is the entire mechanism that gets opencode conversations into the
palace — skip it and session history stays trapped in a local SQLite
DB, invisible to semantic search. Previous docs covered setup well
but were thin on when and how often to run it.
- ARCHITECTURE.md §5: replace the one-line 'When to re-mine' note with
a full Operational Routine section — triggers, cadence, relationship
to the session lifecycle, automation pointers, verification.
- SKILL.md: add an Operational Routine section aimed at agents —
when to suggest invoking the tool, cadence guidance, how to
distinguish this producer-side tool from the consumer-side
mempalace skill's in-session habits.
- README.md: add 'Keeping it fresh' subsection pointing at contrib/
and the full docs.
contrib/ ships three ready-to-use templates:
- systemd/mempalace-session.{service,timer} — user units with weekly
Mon 03:00 schedule, Persistent=true catch-up, RandomizedDelaySec for
fleet-wide jitter, ConditionPathExists guard for opencode-less boxes,
Nice+IOSchedulingClass=idle so it never fights interactive work.
- cron/mempalace-session.cron — sample crontab entry with log
redirection and clear USER-substitution instructions.
- README.md with install/verify/uninstall recipes for both, a chooser
table (systemd vs cron), container/devbox caveats, and tuning notes
(daily vs weekly vs monthly trade-offs).
The user's LATER-list item 'wrap mempalace-session in cron/systemd
timer for true auto-save coverage' is now actionable: a single
systemctl --user enable --now command stands it up.
