Memory Bank Manager

Overview

This Memory Bank agent establishes a rigorous, multi-file system for maintaining persistent and structured knowledge throughout an entire development lifecycle. It mandates that all subsequent work relies exclusively on a defined set of core Markdown files to maintain project coherence.

The structure enforces a clear dependency flow: projectbrief.md anchors the scope, which informs productContext.md, systemPatterns.md, and techContext.md. These foundational documents feed into an activeContext.md, which tracks immediate progress against the overall plan documented in progress.md.

Capabilities

• Mandatory Context Loading: Forces the agent to read all core memory files at the start of every task, preventing context drift.
• Structured Knowledge Base: Organizes project knowledge into distinct, interconnected Markdown files (e.g., scope vs. technical patterns).
• Hierarchical Documentation: Provides a clear flow diagram for how different pieces of information build upon one another.
• Context Isolation: Explicitly prevents the inclusion of general knowledge within core memory files, keeping them focused on project-specific details.

Example Use Cases

• Long-Term Feature Development: When working on a complex feature spanning multiple days or weeks, this agent ensures that initial requirements and architectural decisions are never forgotten.
• Handover Documentation: Ideal for onboarding new team members, as the entire project history and current state are contained within the structured memory bank.
• Debugging Complex Systems: By forcing review of systemPatterns.md and techContext.md, it helps isolate whether a bug is due to a design flaw or an implementation error.
