# Give coding agents repo-local project memory with brain.md

Initialize and maintain a repo-native Markdown memory layer so coding agents preserve durable decisions, requirements, constraints, and rationale across sessions.

## Prerequisites

Node.js, npm or npx, git repository, supported coding agent that reads project instruction files

## Installation

Install or set up from the source-backed instructions:

Install with `npm install -g @mindmux/brain-md`, run `brain setup -y`, then initialize a target project with `brain init`. For one-off use, run `npx @mindmux/brain-md setup -y` and `npx @mindmux/brain-md init`.
