# Session Palace Builder

Construct temporary, session-specific memory palaces for extended conversations and complex projects. Preserves context across interruptions and enables structured information accumulation.

## What It Is

Session palaces are lightweight, temporary memory structures that:
- Preserve context for extended conversations
- Track decisions and their rationale
- Organize project artifacts spatially
- Enable context recovery after interruptions
- Support collaborative information gathering

## Quick Start

### Build Commands
\`\`\`bash
# Run build
make build

# Clean and rebuild
make clean && make build
\`\`\`

### Testing
\`\`\`bash
# Run tests
make test

# Run with verbose output
make test VERBOSE=1
\`\`\`

**Verification**: Run `make build && make test` to confirm build works.
## When To Use

- Extended conversations requiring context preservation
- Complex, multi-step projects with interrelated components
- Wor
