What is ai-memory-project?

AI Project Memory Template is a set of files you copy into any software project to give an AI coding assistant persistent context about that project. The core problem it addresses is that AI assistants typically start each conversation with no memory of what a project is for, what has already been built, or what conventions the codebase follows. Without that context, the assistant has to be re-briefed every time or it makes guesses that do not fit the project. The template adds a folder called memory-bank with files that describe the project purpose, current progress, technology choices, and architectural patterns. There is also a backlog folder for task files, each of which records what needs to be done, which files to change, and notes on decisions made after completing the work. An AGENTS.md file defines rules the AI should follow when working on the project. The recommended workflow is to read those context files at the start of every session before touching any code. Before making changes, the AI is expected to write out an implementation plan stating which files it will modify, why, and what risks exist, and only proceed after you confirm it. When a task is done, it updates the progress log and any architecture notes that changed. The template works by having you run a bootstrap prompt the first time: you paste that prompt to an AI, it reads your existing project and generates a customized version of all the memory files suited to your specific codebase. After that, all future sessions start by reading those files. The README is written in Chinese. The template is technology-agnostic and is described as fitting web apps, mobile apps, backend services, command-line tools, and personal long-term projects. No license is mentioned.
