/neuroflow:output¶
Output project memory or the whole project as a zip archive or folder copy.
/output packages your project data out of the current workspace — for sharing with collaborators, handing off to a supervisor, archiving before a major change, or backing up project state.
When to use it¶
- You want to share project context with a collaborator who doesn't have access to your repo
- You're handing off the project to a supervisor or co-investigator
- You want to archive the project state before a major refactor
- You need to submit data and documentation to a repository
Export scopes¶
| Scope | What is included |
|---|---|
| Project memory | .neuroflow/ only — project config, flow indexes, reasoning logs, phase notes, preregistration, ethics, finance, fails. Excludes sessions/ and integrations.json. |
| Whole project | All git-tracked files plus .neuroflow/ memory (excluding sessions/ and integrations.json). |
| Specific phase | One phase subfolder from .neuroflow/{phase}/ plus project_config.md and flow.md. |
Not sure which scope?
Use Project memory for sharing context with a collaborator. Use Whole project for full archiving or handoff.
Output formats¶
| Format | When to use |
|---|---|
| Zip archive | Cross-platform sharing, email attachments, long-term archiving |
| Folder copy | Local backups, moving to another drive or shared network folder |
Default: zip archive.
Safety exclusions¶
The following are always excluded, regardless of scope:
| Excluded | Reason |
|---|---|
.neuroflow/sessions/ |
Local-only session logs, can be large, no research value outside the machine |
.neuroflow/integrations.json |
API credentials — must never be shared |
Files read and written¶
| Direction | Files |
|---|---|
| Reads | .neuroflow/project_config.md, .neuroflow/flow.md, .neuroflow/output/flow.md |
| Writes | .neuroflow/output/ (export log), .neuroflow/sessions/YYYY-MM-DD.md |
