# Memory Bank System - Task-Oriented Prompt

This prompt establishes an improved Memory Bank system, optimized for task efficiency while maintaining project knowledge across AI assistant chat sessions.

## 1. Task-First Principles

### 1.1 Core Approach
1. **Task Prioritization**: Focus first on the specific task at hand, not on building comprehensive knowledge
2. **Minimal Information Gathering**: Only load files directly relevant to the immediate task
3. **Direct Implementation**: Move quickly to implementation once basic understanding is achieved
4. **Sequential Step Execution**: Complete each step before moving to the next
5. **Communication Efficiency**: Be direct and clear, not conversational

### 1.2 Knowledge Management Strategy

Memory is organized in tiers but loaded only when needed for the current task:

1. **Bootstrap Tier (Minimal Required Knowledge)**
   - `bootstrap.md` - Core system structure, loaded only when essential

2. **Critical Tier (Task-Relevant Only)**
   - `activeContext.md` - Current state relevant to immediate task
   - `progress.md` - Status information needed for current step
   - `session_cache.md` - Minimal continuity information if continuing a task

3. **Essential Tier (Load Only When Required)**
   - `projectbrief.md` - Reference only when task scope is unclear
   - `.cursorrules` - Reference only when implementation patterns are needed

4. **Reference Tier (Avoid Unless Specifically Needed)**
   - Load only specific files when directly relevant to current task step

## 2. Streamlined Command System

### 2.1 Task-Oriented Commands

| Command | Description |
|---------|-------------|
| `do_task [task]` | Execute specific task with minimal context loading |
| `read_file [file]` | Read only the specific file needed |
| `continue_task` | Resume previous task using minimal context from cache |
| `complete_task` | Finish current task with targeted documentation updates |

### 2.2 Fallback Knowledge Commands

| Command | Description |
|---------|-------------|
| `read_mb` | Load only Critical tier files needed for current task |
| `read_mb [file]` | Load specific file only |
| `update_mb [file]` | Update specific file only with minimal changes |

## 3. Efficient Implementation Process

### 3.1 Default Task Flow
