Reposition feed-memex as legacy; point users at memex-sync scan-claude
The 'Live MCP memory — feed-memex' section in both README's framed
this command as the canonical way to feed memex from claude-backup.
That made claude-backup a de-facto memex prerequisite — install
Python, install claude-backup, then run feed-memex to bootstrap
memex's corpus.
memex shipped a self-contained ingester yesterday (memex-sync
scan-claude). It walks the same ~/.claude/projects and Cowork
session trees, parses the same JSONL shape, and writes
byte-identical inbox files. No Python required.
Updated both README's:
• Top of the feed-memex section now leads with a heads-up callout:
"if your only goal is to feed memex, use `npx memex-sync
scan-claude` — you don't need claude-backup at all"
• feed-memex remains documented (the command still works; people
with existing crons or scripts shouldn't break) but is explicitly
marked legacy / dual-use
• Added the byte-compatibility note so users know they can switch
between tools without re-importing
This realigns the two projects with their proper roles. claude-backup
is the standalone Markdown export utility — Plan B for users who want
their conversations as readable .md files for backup, sharing, or
reading offline. memex is the AI-memory layer that ingests
conversations into a searchable index. They were always meant to be
independent; the README's just hadn't caught up.
