Memory Bank Bootstrap

Use when asked to add or bootstrap memory-bank, create the base files with the bundled create-memory script, and replace TODO placeholders using project instructions and user input.

Scripts

• Run the memory_script to create the memory-bank files.
• Run the agents_script to add the AGENTS.md rules for memory-bank.

User-scoped skills install under $CODEX_HOME/skills (default: skills).

./scripts/create-memory.sh [TARGET_DIR]
./scripts/add-agents.sh [TARGET_PATH]

Memory Bootstrap Workflow

1. Confirm memory-bank/ does not exist.
   • If it exists, STOP and report that no changes were made. Do not edit anything.
2. Learn about the project.
3. Create the scaffold with the memory_script.
4. Replace all TODO sections with project-specific content.
5. Add or update the AGENTS.md file in the designated TARGET_PATH using agents_script.
6. Create expected output ussing output_template.

Step Details

1. Confirm memory-bank/ does not exist

Run one of these checks from the repo root:

• rg --files -g 'memory-bank/**'
• ls memory-bank

If the directory exists, stop and report that you skipped all steps.

2. Read project instructions

Find and read all project guidance before writing content.

• Locate README.md with rg --files -g 'README*.md'.
• If not mentioned in README.md, list all files in the root directory and identify the underlying framework it is using.
• Locate AGENT.md or AGENTS.md with rg --files -g 'AGENT*.md' -g 'AGENTS*.md'.
• Locate rules files with rg --files -g 'Rules/**'.
• Review all the available files to determine the project's objectives.
• If there is no documentation, you can review the current file structure and content to determine the basic project information.
• Summarize constraints or wording requirements that must be reflected in memory-bank content.

3. Create the scaffold with the bundled script

Run the memory_script against the target repository root.

4. Replace all TODO sections

• Open each file under memory-bank/ and remove the TODO: guidance blocks.
• Fill every section with project-specific content derived from the ivestigation and user answers.
• If required details are missing, ask the user targeted questions before editing.

5. Add or update AGENTS.md

• Always inquire where the user prefers to save AGENTS.md and correspondingly assign their choice to TARGET_PATH using the question_template.
• Use agents_script to add the AGENTS.md file.

6. Expected output

• Use output_template once all other tasks are done.

Question Set

• Project brief: purpose, scope, goals, non-goals, workflow requirements.
• Product context: why it exists, problems it solves, expected behavior, UX goals.
• System patterns: module structure, naming/tagging, validation, composition, versioning.
• Tech context: stack, tooling, repository structure, constraints.
• Active context: current focus, recent changes, next steps, decisions/constraints.
• Progress: what works, remaining work, current status, known issues.
• Tasks index: in-progress, pending, completed, abandoned.

DO NOT DO

• DO NOT USE mkdir command to creadte directories.
• DO NOT USE any commands other than those specified in this guide.
• YOU DO NOT NEED to read scripts/*.sh scripts.
