---# /si:promote — Graduate Learnings to Rules
Moves a proven pattern from Claude's auto-memory into the project's rule system, where it becomes an enforced instruction rather than a background note.
## Usage
```
/si:promote <pattern description> # Auto-detect best target
/si:promote <pattern> --target claude.md # Promote to CLAUDE.md
/si:promote <pattern> --target rules/testing.md # Promote to scoped rule
/si:promote <pattern> --target rules/api.md --paths "src/api/**/*.ts" # Scoped with paths
```
## Workflow
### Step 1: Understand the pattern
Parse the user's description. If vague, ask one clarifying question:
- "What specific behavior should Claude follow?"
- "Does this apply to all files or specific paths?"
### Step 2: Find the pattern in auto-memory
```bash
# Search MEMORY.md for related entries
MEMORY_DIR="$HOME/.claude/projects/$(pwd | sed 's|/|%2F|g; s|%2F|/|; s|^/||')/memory"
grep -ni "<keywords>" "$MEMORY_DIR/MEMORY.md"
