description: Import a historical communication archive and refine workspace memory
---

Use a historical communication export as archive evidence for the workspace.

Interpret this as historical recovery, not as current truth and not as model training.

Inputs:

- `$ARGUMENTS` may contain an export path, channel names, or date filters
- if no explicit path is given, use `AIW_SLACK_EXPORT_PATH` when available
- Fidelity profile alias: `FIDELITY_SLACK_EXPORT_PATH`
- otherwise, if `archives/slack/export/` exists, use it as the default import source
- if no channels are specified, auto-detect channels using `AIW_CHANNEL_PREFIX`
- Fidelity default prefix: `fidelity`

Run the importer:

!`prefix="${AIW_CHANNEL_PREFIX:-fidelity}"; if [ -n "$ARGUMENTS" ]; then python3 scripts/slack/import_slack_export.py $ARGUMENTS; elif [ -n "$AIW_SLACK_EXPORT_PATH" ]; then python3 scripts/slack/import_slack_export.py --export-path "$AIW_SLACK_EXPORT_PATH" --channel-prefix "$prefix"; elif [ -n "$FIDELITY_SLACK_EXPORT_PATH" ]; then python3 scripts/slack/import_slack_export.py --export-path "$FIDELITY_SLACK_EXPORT_PATH" --channel-prefix "$prefix"; elif [ -d archives/slack/export ]; then python3 scripts/slack/import_slack_export.py --export-path archives/slack/export --channel-prefix "$prefix"; else echo "Provide archive import arguments, set AIW_SLACK_EXPORT_PATH, set FIDELITY_SLACK_EXPORT_PATH, or place an extracted export in archives/slack/export."; fi`

Imported summary, if present:

!`if [ -s scripts/slack/generated/slack_summary.md ]; then cat scripts/slack/generated/slack_summary.md; else echo "No archive summary generated."; fi`

Imported archive context, if present:

!`if [ -s scripts/slack/generated/slack_context.jsonl ]; then cat scripts/slack/generated/slack_context.jsonl; else echo "No archive context generated."; fi`

Instructions:

- treat the archive as historical evidence
- promote durable project-relevant context automatically when confidence is high
- prefer durable role/person associations, recurring architecture patterns, repeated work-item references, approval/scope history, and process lessons
- create or update `vault/04-people/*.md` when a human repeatedly affects project flow
- avoid promoting outdated daily status unless it changes current understanding
- update existing memory when the archive clarifies or corrects it
- keep ambiguous or likely outdated facts as archive-only context
- write promoted memory to `vault/`

Return:

1. What was imported
2. Which files were updated
3. Which historical facts were promoted or intentionally left as archive-only context
