π File detail
memdir/teamMemPaths.ts
π― Use case
This file lives under βmemdir/β, which covers on-disk βmemory directoryβ workflows (scanning, prompts, team memory). On the API surface it exposes PathTraversalError, isTeamMemoryEnabled, getTeamMemPath, getTeamMemEntrypoint, and isTeamMemPath (and more) β mainly functions, hooks, or classes. Dependencies touch Node filesystem and Node path helpers. It composes internal code from services, utils, and paths (relative imports).
Generated from folder role, exports, dependency roots, and inline comments β not hand-reviewed for every path.
