Remember

name: remember
description: |
  Use when the friend wants to see what the system remembers about a
  project (or the wiki overall) — "what do you remember about X", "show me
  my project memory." Triggers on the /ren:remember [project] slash command.
  Renders the L2 map in human prose, not a raw markdown dump. The cheapest
  trust-builder in the scope (spec §3.8 A-10) — read-only, always.

# remember

"Show me what you remember about this project" — spec §3.8 A-10's cheapest trust-builder. **Read-only, always**: this skill never proposes, approves, applies, or otherwise touches the write-queue. It only reads an already-written L2 map and renders it as prose a friend can actually read, instead of a raw markdown dump of frontmatter and bullet-pointer syntax.

## When to use this skill

- Friend invokes `/ren:remember [project-slug]` — with a slug, the named project's map; without one, the master wiki index.
- Friend asks in plain language: "what do you remember about `<project>`", "show me my project memory", "what do you know about this wiki."

## When NOT to use this skill

- Friend wants to look up something SPECIFIC (a decision, a lesson) → `/ren:recall <query>`, not this — `/ren:remember` shows the whole map, `/ren:recall` searches.
- Friend wants to CHANGE what's remembered → `/ren:pin`, not this.

## Behavior

1. Call `skills.remember.lib.remember(project_slug)`.
2. Print the result verbatim. It already handles every case:
   - a real map exists → title line, `Knowledge:`/`Decision map:`/`Recent log:` sections in prose (decision pointers drop their `(write_id)` — that's provenance plumbing, not something a friend needs to see), and a footer with counts.
   - the map is quarantined (unreviewed, auto-generated by `/ren:ingest-project`) → a prominent warning line, before anything else.
   - an unknown project slug → a friendly one-line pointer to `/ren:ingest-project`/`/ren:bootstrap-project`.
   - no slug and nothing to show at all → what IS known (identity set up? how many global pages?) plus how to get started.

Never raises. There is no failure mode here that should ever look like a crash to the friend — worst case is "I don't have memory for that yet," never a traceback.
