Frequently asked questions

What are the prerequisites for using Cline Memory Bank?

Node.js v16 or later, VS Code with the Cline extension installed, and TypeScript for development.

How is project context stored?

The server creates a `memory-bank/` directory in the project root containing markdown files: `projectContext.md`, `activeContext.md`, `progress.md`, and `decisionLog.md`.

How do I initialize a Memory Bank for a project?

Use the `initialize_memory_bank` tool via Cline, providing the project path. The server then creates the required file structure with initial templates.

Can the Memory Bank maintain context across sessions?

Yes, it persists context across sessions so the AI assistant remembers previous discussions, decisions, and progress without needing re-explanation.
