# Examples
Quick reference guides and seed data for workshops and learning.
## Contents
| File | Description |
|------|-------------|
| [QUICKSTART.md](QUICKSTART.md) | npm commands cheatsheet - CLI, MCP, Inspector |
| [COPILOT_CHAT_EXAMPLES.md](COPILOT_CHAT_EXAMPLES.md) | 50+ copy-paste prompts for GitHub Copilot Chat |
| [scenarios/](scenarios/) | Pre-built memory files for different use cases |
## Scenarios
Load these into your memory store to start with realistic data:
```bash
# React/frontend developer setup
cp examples/scenarios/react-developer.json .copilot-memory.json
# API/backend developer setup
cp examples/scenarios/api-backend.json .copilot-memory.json
# Team architecture decisions (ADR-style)
cp examples/scenarios/team-decisions.json .copilot-memory.json
```
### Available Scenarios
| Scenario | Memories | Focus |
|----------|----------|-------|
| `react-developer.json` | 15 | React, TypeScript, styling, testing patterns |
| `api-backend.json` | 16 | REST API, database, auth, architecture patterns |
| `team-decisions.json` | 15 | ADRs, tech stack, team context, migrations |
## Quick Start for Workshops
### 1. First-time setup
```bash
npm install
npm run build
```
### 2. Load scenario data
```bash
cp examples/scenarios/react-developer.json project-memory.json
```
### 3. Try the CLI
```bash
npm run dev
# memory> search react
# memory> compress "react patterns" --budget 500
```
### 4. Try the MCP Inspector
```bash
npm run inspect
# Browser opens → Connect → Browse tools → Execute
```
### 5. Try Copilot Chat
1. Reload VS Code (`Ctrl+Shift+P` → "Developer: Reload Window")
2. Open Copilot Chat (`Ctrl+Alt+I`)
3. Select **Memory** agent
4. Try: "What React patterns do I have stored?"
