Auto Resource Beta

Auto Resource is ReMe's entry point for interpreting resources and is currently in Beta. Resource files first enter resource/ by date and are then interpreted into daily resource cards. Each card's filename comes from the LLM-generated frontmatter name, and source_resource links the card back to its original file.

For the general file semantics of workspace layers, resource/, and daily/, see Memory as File. For the flow that writes conversations to daily, see Auto Memory.

resource/YYYY-MM-DD/<resource_file>
  ├─ step 1: daily/YYYY-MM-DD/<generated_name>.md # interpreted resource card
  ├─ step 2: source_resource points to the original resource
  └─ step 3: daily/YYYY-MM-DD.md                  # daily index linking the cards

What It Records

Auto Resource does more than copy file content. It extracts information that will make the resource easier to retrieve and understand later:

• Core content: what the resource is mainly about.
• Structure: its sections, tables, fields, and data organization.
• Key details: important numbers, names, dates, and conclusions.
• Context and purpose: why the resource exists and how it relates to current work.
• Actionable items: tasks, deadlines, and follow-up work.

In short, it turns "a file was archived" into "the resource is usable."

Original Resource Entry Point

Auto Resource uses resource/ as the entry point for source material. Resources must be placed under a date, which determines the day whose daily memory layer receives the interpreted card.

Example directory:

workspace/
  resource/
    2026-06-20/
      market-report.md
      meeting-notes.csv

The current Beta version is best suited to text-based resources such as md, txt, json, jsonl, csv, yaml, and html.

Resource Cards

Each resource file produces one daily resource card. The system initially uses the resource file's stem as a temporary path. After the agent writes the card, the file is renamed according to its frontmatter name:

resource/2026-06-20/market-report.md
        ↓
daily/2026-06-20/market-report-highlights.md

The resource card links to the original file through frontmatter:

source_resource: "[[resource/2026-06-20/market-report.md]]"

When a resource changes, Auto Resource finds and updates the corresponding card through source_resource. When a resource is deleted, its daily note is also removed. The older daily/YYYY-MM-DD/<resource_stem>.md naming convention remains supported as a fallback.

Daily Index

Resource cards enter the same daily memory layer as Auto Memory cards. The day's YYYY-MM-DD.md page acts as an index and organizes those resource cards:

daily/
  2026-06-20.md
  2026-06-20/
    market-report-highlights.md
    meeting-notes-summary.md

To review which resources were processed on a day, start with YYYY-MM-DD.md. To inspect what was distilled from one resource, open its corresponding resource card.

Preserving the Original Resource

The interpreted daily note is optimized for readability; the original resource is retained for trust and verification.

Auto Resource does not move the original file. It remains under resource/YYYY-MM-DD/. Text resources can therefore enter the daily memory flow while their source files stay in their original location.

What Happens Next

Auto Resource only creates resource interpretations in the daily layer. To distill long-term knowledge from resources into digest/, use Auto Dream. To search original resources, daily cards, and digest nodes, use Memory Search.
