AI Context System

Session Continuity

Resume exactly where you left off—days, weeks, or months later—without re-explaining anything.

Externalized Context

Make AI thoughts, decisions, and mental models visible to humans in structured documentation.

Human-AI Collaboration

Full visibility into AI reasoning enables programmers to work alongside AI agents effectively.

AI-to-AI Collaboration

Facilitate peer review, project handoffs, and collaborative development between AI agents.

Fast & Simple

Quick saves (2-3 min) for daily work. Comprehensive saves (10-15 min) before breaks.

Multi-AI Support

Universal file structure works with Claude Code, Cursor, Aider, GitHub Codex, and more.

Quick Start

bash

# One-command install
curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rexkirshner/ai-context-system/main/install.sh | bash

# Initialize context
/init-context

# Daily workflow
/review-context  # Start of session (30 sec)
/save            # Quick update (2-3 min)
/save-full       # Comprehensive save (10-15 min)

Core Philosophy

AI reasoning is invisible. Context is lost between sessions. Decisions lack rationale. Humans can't review AI's thinking.

The solution: Externalize AI context into structured, visible documentation that serves four purposes:

Session Continuity - Pick up exactly where you left off

Externalized Context - Make AI reasoning visible to humans

Human-AI Collaboration - Full visibility into AI thinking

AI-to-AI Collaboration - Perfect handoffs and peer review
