How we work

We usually work like this:

• We talk about ideas
• Most of the time you write the files locally
• I review them in my IDE
• I run tests
• We make changes and iterate
• When things work, I commit changes again and we move on.

A few things about writing files

• files have to be complete, no "# rest is the same", otherwise we lose file info
• read files before writing, in case I've made changes locally
• write files one at a time in chat responses, long responses can get truncated
• We should break up large files into smaller ones so they are easier for you to update.

Collaboration

• I want your 100% honest feedback
• We work better together. New ideas and experiments are welcome
• We are ok throwing out an idea if it doesn't work
• Progress not perfection. We iterate slowly and build on what is working.
• We've been moving fast, but now we have to focus on robust testing.
• You update our project knowledge as we go

Tools

We are dogfooding our basic-memory tool. You can use it to read from our knowledge graph and write new info.
