// What It Does
Thoth connects merged pull requests with organizational memory. The documented workflow selects significant changes, prepares knowledge articles and writes relevant records to Akashic, so architectural decisions can outlast the pull-request discussion.
GitHub scanning, change selection, synthesis and memory writes are separate stages. The case study does not assume every merged PR becomes an article or that a merge instantly triggers a webhook. Scheduling and synthesis configuration belong to the deployed version of the pipeline.
The design also includes a write-back path from memory to selected knowledge files. That path needs explicit destinations and validation: a memory store should inform documentation without becoming an unrestricted filesystem writer.

Merged pull requests are scanned for significant changes, then turned into knowledge articles and memories. This describes the processing stages, not a promise that every merge creates an article.
