+
+## Positioning
+
+Added Tree Ring Memory to `AI-powered dev tools` as a free MIT open-source
+Rust CLI/TUI for local-first AI-agent memory lifecycle work.
+
+The copy intentionally frames Tree Ring Memory as developer infrastructure,
+not a standalone chatbot:
+
+- Free: MIT open-source, local SQLite storage, no hosted service required.
+- Best for: developers adding persistent memory to local agent workflows.
+- Catch: early-stage and CLI-first.
+
+## Files Changed Upstream
+
+- `README.md`
+- `data/tools.json`
+- `index.html`
+
+## Validation
+
+- Duplicate issue and PR searches found no existing Tree Ring Memory
+  submission before opening the PR.
+- `python3` JSON parse and rendered-count check passed: one Tree Ring Memory
+  entry in `dev-tools`, rendered total `232`, metadata total `232`.
+- `rg -i "tree ring|tree-ring" README.md data/tools.json index.html script.js`
+  shows only the intended README and JSON entries.
+- `git diff --check` passed.
+- `curl -I -L https://github.com/TerminallyLazy/Tree-Ring-Memory` returned
+  HTTP `200`.
+- GitHub reports the PR as `MERGEABLE` with no status checks.
+
+## Follow-Up
+
+- Monitor PR #19 for maintainer review.
+- If merged, check the GitHub Pages directory search/filter for the Tree Ring
+  Memory card after deployment.
