Decision: All Claude Code project MEMORY.md files symlink to cognitive memory CORE.md rather than containing project-specific content. Project-specific knowledge belongs in cognitive memory (tagged and searchable) not in isolated MEMORY.md files. This ensures uniform auto-loading and single source of truth. If a project needs persistent context, store it as a cognitive memory with the project tag.
