Using aid in this repository

Purpose

Use aid to capture and recall useful working context for this repository.

The tool is intended to reduce repeated context reconstruction across human and agent sessions.

Current state

This repository currently contains a scaffold.

Prefer the CLI help output and repository docs if implementation details differ from the intended command shape below.

Start of session

Run:

• aid resume --brief

If more structure is required, use:

• aid resume --json

During work

Record only important findings:

• aid note add "<finding>"

Track meaningful units of work:

• aid task add "<task>"

Record non-obvious engineering decisions:

• aid decide add "<decision>"

Searching context

Use:

• aid recall "<query>"
• aid history search "<query>"

End of session

Generate a handoff:

• aid handoff generate --brief

Writing rules

• Prefer short, specific notes over vague summaries.
• Record decisions when they change future implementation.
• Do not spam notes for trivial observations.
• Prefer targeted recall queries over broad searches.
• Prefer --brief unless richer structure is needed.
