AI Memory Bank Init

Use this tool to initialize a robust "Memory Bank" context management structure for your AI-assisted projects (Claude, Cursor, etc.).

What is a Memory Bank?

It's a standardized set of markdown files that help AI coding assistants maintain context, follow project rules, and remember lessons learned.

• .claude/CLAUDE.md: The "operating system" for the AI, defining rules and behaviors.
• .memory-bank/PROJECT.md: Technical constraints, architectural decisions, and lessons learned.
• .memory-bank/MODULES.md: Current feature status and known issues (backlog).
• .memory-bank/TASK.md: Scratchpad for complex task planning.

Usage

Run this command in the root of your project:

npx @pcqxh/memory-bank

This will create the .claude and .memory-bank directories with the initial templates.

Options

• --force, -f: Overwrite existing files.
• --skip-existing, -s: Skip files that already exist.

Workflow

1. Initialize: Run the command.
2. Populate: Ask Claude to "Analyze this project and fill in PROJECT.md and MODULES.md".
3. Maintain:
   • Update MODULES.md when features are completed.
   • Update PROJECT.md when you learn a new "lesson" or change the tech stack.
