# Shell memory questions

`memory.tsv` is a selectively curated question-and-answer bank for reinforcing
useful Bash commands. It deliberately excludes internal functions, standard
command overrides and deprecated transition aliases.

Each non-empty line contains three tab-separated fields:

```text
name	question	answer
```

- `name` is a unique stable identifier, normally the command or alias name.
- `question` is displayed on shell startup.
- `answer` is displayed by running `answerpls` in that terminal.

The file has no header or comments. Empty fields, duplicate names and malformed
rows are errors.

Bash selects one entry deterministically from the local calendar date. Every
terminal opened on the same day therefore shows the same question without
requiring a state file. Editing the bank may change which question maps to a
given date.
