DisclaimerUnofficial, and not affiliated with Anthropic. Nearly all of this is read straight out of what ships: npm bundles, captured prompts, published docs. Anthropic's own notes go in verbatim, marked as theirs. The rest is my reading, and every entry carries the strings behind it. If one looks wrong, vote it down and say why.

Hook helper that collects memory files from every parent directory

Useful3 Signal3
Hooks Notable not in their notes

Function hooks can call $.fs.ancestors to gather memory files from every parent directory.

$.fs.ancestors
What

Function hooks can call $.fs.ancestors, which walks from the project directory up to the filesystem root and gathers named memory files along the way. It returns an empty list when project memory is turned off.

Details
  • Skips the walk entirely when project memory is disabled, so the result is [] rather than an error.
  • Honours the approval flag for including files from outside the project.
  • Logs how many of the walked directories actually contained a match.
Evidence

$.fs.ancestors

Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
