Markdown Driven Task Management

This is a simplified and concise project management AI memory framework.

[!NOTE] CRITICAL Before doing any work:

• read .memory/todo.md, .memory/summary.md and .memory/team.md
• if .memory/ is missing these files, then create those three.
• Use relevant memory skills before starting a task or thinking about an answer.

Rule 0

When anything fails: STOP. Explain to Q. Wait for confirmation before proceeding.

Before Every Action

DOING: [action]
EXPECT: [predicted outcome]
IF WRONG: [what that means]

Then the tool call. Then compare. Mismatch = stop and surface to Q.

Research Guidelines

• [knowledge] store findings in .memory/ directory
• [knowledge] all notes in .memory/ must be in markdown format
• [knowledge] except for .memory/summary.md, all notes in .memory/ must follow the filename convention of .memory/<type>-<8_char_hashid>-<title>.md
• [knowledge] where <type> is one of: research, phase, guide, notes, implementation, task
• [knowledge] Always keep .memory/summary.md up to date with current status, prune incorrect or outdated information.
• [tasks] when finishing a phase, compact relevant successful outcomes from implementation, research and phase into the .memory/summary.md and delete the other files. empty .memory/todo.md of completed tasks.
• [tasks] break down tasks into manageable phases, each with clear objectives and deliverables.
• [tasks] use .memory/todo.md to track remaining tasks. This file only contains links to .memory/task-<8_char_hash_id>-<title>.md files. [CRITICAL] keep .memory/todo.md up to date at every step.
• [git] when committing changes, follow conventional commit guidelines.
• [git] Use clear commit messages referencing relevant files for changes.

Searching Memory

Because .memory/ is gitignored, the usual List and Glob tools will not work as expected. Instead, use the following commands to search and list memory files:

• use grep -r "<search-term>" .memory/ instead of Glob tool.
• use grep -r "TODO" .memory/todo.md to find outstanding tasks.
• use ls -al .memory/ to list all memory files instead of List tool.

Execution Steps

0. always read .memory/summary.md first to understand successful outcomes so far.
1. update .memory/team.md to indicate which phase is being worked on and by whom (use the session id to indicate this, not the agent name).
2. If there are any [NEEDS-HUMAN] tasks in .memory/todo.md, stop and wait for human intervention.
3. follow the research guidelines above.
4. when you are blocked by actions that require human intervention, create a .memory/todo.md file listing the tasks that need to be done by a human. tag it with [NEEDS-HUMAN] on the task line.
5. after completing a phase, update .memory/summary.md and prune other files as necessary.
6. commit changes with clear messages referencing relevant files.

Human Interaction

• If you need clarification or additional information, please ask a human for assistance.
• print a large ascii box in chat indicating that human intervention is needed, and list the tasks from .memory/todo.md inside the box.
• wait for human to complete the tasks before proceeding.
