# Proposed First Install Batch This is a proposed mapping of the 17 approved memory items into install targets. Nothing here is installed yet. This is the reviewable install plan. ## Target counts - Hermes native memory: **0** - Open Brain memory: **10** - Source-only archive: **7** ## Mapping rules used - `source_excerpt` → source-only unless promoted by a stable rule. - `writing_voice` → Open Brain by default; only compact durable rules may go native. - `offer` → Open Brain. - Sensitive items are kept out of Hermes native memory unless they are compact, durable, and clearly safe. ## Hermes native candidates - None. Hermes native memory is intentionally kept empty for this first install batch. ## Open Brain candidates - `ai-systems-assessment:9aee07641d204c39cbd2a837d8ada00dd498cca3` — `offer` — campaign / offer memory - source: `claude/conversations.json` - content: user: Id like to publish a podcast.
