Core Features & Use Cases

Initialize or load the .manager-agent/ memory directory with 6 files on first run (MEMORY.md, PROJECT_STATE.md, TODO.md, BUG_HISTORY.md, DECISION_LOG.md, RISK_REGISTER.md) and add it to .gitignore.
Support lightweight layered loading to speed initial responses; on first load, interview the user and create a project snapshot.
Coordinate with the paired skill manager-agent-update to sync memory after work.

FAQPage Schema

How do I preserve coding context across sessions in a repository?▼

To preserve coding context across sessions, initialize a file-based project memory to save repository state, decisions, and history into a dedicated directory. This lightweight snapshot loads automatically on subsequent visits.

What is the best way to initialize project memory before starting a coding task?▼

The best way to initialize project memory is to trigger a workflow that interviews you about the project, explores the repository, and creates a memory directory containing six tracking files for state, history, and risks.

How does a file-based project memory workflow operate?▼

A file-based project memory workflow operates by creating a directory with six files to track memory, project state, todos, bugs, decisions, and risks. It loads a project snapshot for context before enforcing a deterministic workflow.

Do I need to manually manage project memory files after initialization?▼

You do not need to manually manage project memory files after initialization. The workflow coordinates with a paired update skill to sync changes back to memory and produce a task-focused summary after work is complete.

Can I use project memory snapshots for large repository collaboration?▼

Yes, you can use project memory snapshots for large repository collaboration. The system uses lightweight layered loading to speed initial responses and adds the memory directory to gitignore to prevent conflicts.
