Without this, every session starts cold. With it, session 47 knows what session 1 decided.
| Component | What It Is | Analogy |
|---|---|---|
| DOSI | The system — protocol + embedding pipeline | Git workflow docs |
| OCD | Context unit — directory of everything from one session | A git commit |
| STATE.md | Live snapshot — where are we now | Working tree status |
| CLAUDE.md | Project config — what are we building | README for the AI |
| Knowledge Network | Vector memory — recall anything | Searchable brain |
