Palace Memory · Plain-English Model

Wings Rooms Drawers

Palace turns a pile of notes, pages, files, and agent memories into a familiar place: big wings, focused rooms, and the most useful drawers inside each room.

Wings Hold
Big Areas
A wing is the top-level area of the palace, like a broad department in a well-run archive.
How Palace chooses a wing
1
Explicit placement wins
If an item already says which wing it belongs in, Palace respects that instead of guessing.
2
Signals become shelves
Path names, tags, categories, source scope, and the title are used to infer the best broad area.
3
Unknowns still land somewhere
If nothing obvious matches, Palace puts the item in General so it remains findable.

Examples Security / Compliance, Product / Growth, Infra / Code / Agents, Founder Notes.
✓
Stable identity Each wing has a tenant-scoped slug, so the same area can be reused over time.

Rooms Gather
One Topic
A room is a focused topic inside a wing, where related memories are collected and kept current.
1
Pick the room name Palace uses explicit room placement, a document path, semantic tags, categories, scope, or title words.
ROUTE
2
Build the stable key The wing and room names combine into one stable key so duplicates are avoided.
KEEP
3
Add membership Ready, active items get an automatic membership with confidence; pinned human choices are preserved.
JOIN
4
Mark stale work Membership, closet, snapshot, tunnel, and retrieval-hint generations show what needs rebuilding.
REFRESH
✓ Clean route
The item becomes part of the room and can be used for browsing and retrieval.
! Conflict
Pinned human placement is kept, and Palace records a pin-conflict event for review.

Drawers Show
The Useful Bits
Drawers are the representative item references inside a room closet, so users see what matters without opening every memory.
What gets built for a room
1
Closet artifact
Up to 50 recent ready items become drawer references with title, type, and tags.
2
Room snapshot
The first drawers and strongest tags become a plain summary for the room.
3
Tunnels and trace
Related rooms get connected, while retrieval explains the selected wing, candidate rooms, and any fallback.
