Project Dossier

Persistent project facts and decision records, as plain files.

What it does

A building project spans months and a team. Without shared state, every session re-derives the same facts, and the reasoning behind choices gets lost in email threads. This plugin keeps both as plain files in the project folder:

LayerFile(s)Holds
FactsPROJECT.mdWhat is — address, zoning district, FAR, program, code edition. Every entry sourced and dated.
Reasoningdecisions/NNNN-*.mdWhy it is — numbered decision records: context, options, the call, consequences, status.

The analysis skills across Architecture Studio check the dossier before fetching, append their findings after completing, and propose /decision when an analysis forces a choice — a zoning path, a code edition, a carbon threshold.

No sync service, no dashboard. The files are shared however the project already is — git, Drive, Dropbox.
