myAI Memory Sync

# myAI Memory Sync - Recent Improvements ## Overview This document summarizes the improvements made to the myAI Memory Sync project to enhance the synchronization process and make it more robust, user-friendly, and flexible. ## Key Improvements ### 1. Enhanced Error Handling - **Improved File Permission Management**: Implemented `ensureFileWritable` function to automatically detect and fix permission issues during synchronization. - Checks if a file is writable - Attempts to make it writable if it's not - Provides clear feedback on permission changes - **Better Path Resolution**: Added `expandTildePath` function to properly handle file paths containing tildes (`~`) and environment variables. - Expands `~` to the user's home directory - Ensures paths are consistently resolved across different platforms - **Robust Error Reporting**: Updated all synchronization classes to provide more informative error messages. - Detailed error information for debugging - Clear status reports for partial synchronization success ### 2. Emergency Sync Feature - **Direct Synchronization**: Implemented a command-line emergency sync feature that bypasses the MCP server. - Works when the MCP server is not available or encountering issues - Automatically handles file permissions - Updates all configured platforms in a single operation - **Comprehensive Platform Support**: The emergency sync updates: - Home directory CLAUDE.md file - All CLAUDE.md files in project directories - Windsurf global_rules.md file ### 3. CLI Improvements - **Simplified Command Structure**: Redesigned the CLI with clearer, more intuitive commands. - `--help`: Show usage information - `--version`: Display version information - `--http`: Start HTTP server for SSE transport - `--stdio`: Start stdio server for MCP transport - `--debug`: Enable detailed logging - `--emergency-sync`: Perform emergency sync - **Convenience Scripts**: Added shell scripts for common operations. - `start-memory-sync.sh`: Start the MCP server with stdio transport - `start-http-server.sh`: Start the HTTP server with optional port configuration - `emergency-sync.sh`: Run the emergency sync command ### 4. Code Quality - **ESM Module Support**: Updated the codebase to properly use ES modules. - Fixed import/export syntax - Ensured compatibility with modern Node.js - **Improved Documentation**: Enhanced the README and added this IMPROVEMENTS.md file. - Added troubleshooting section - Documented new CLI commands and scripts - Provided usage examples ### 5. Template Enhancements - **MCP Section**: Added a dedicated section for MCP-related instructions. - Guidelines for handling gitignored files - Instructions for using the filesystem MCP - Recommendations for using serveMyAPI MCP for credentials - Provides LLMs with clear guidance on when to request special file access - **Section Documentation**: Added detailed explanations of each section type in the README. - User Information - General Response Style - Coding Preferences - MCP Instructions ## Future Enhancements Potential future improvements to consider: 1. **Multi-Platform Support**: Enhance compatibility with Windows and Linux environments. 2. **Web Interface**: Develop a web-based management interface for the template. 3. **Smarter Synchronization**: Add differential synchronization to only update changed sections. 4. **Testing Improvements**: Expand test coverage, especially for error handling. 5. **Custom Templates**: Support for user-defined templates and formats beyond the standard myAI Memory structure. ## Conclusion These improvements make the myAI Memory Sync tool more reliable, user-friendly, and robust in handling synchronization issues. The addition of the emergency sync feature and improved error handling ensures that users can maintain consistent memory content across all Claude interfaces, even when encountering technical difficulties.
