Memory Bank MCP

# Code Improvements ## Overview This document outlines the improvements made to the Memory Bank Server codebase, including translation to English, code quality enhancements, and various other improvements. ## Implemented Improvements ### 1. Translation to English - Translated all code, comments, and documentation from Portuguese to English - Ensured consistent terminology throughout the codebase - Standardized on English for all user-facing messages and logs ### 2. Improved Error Handling - Added try/catch blocks to all file operations - Implemented more descriptive error messages - Added proper error propagation - Enhanced error logging with more context - Added fallback mechanisms for non-critical errors ### 3. Enhanced Documentation - Added comprehensive JSDoc comments to all classes and methods - Improved method descriptions with parameter and return type documentation - Added class-level documentation explaining purpose and responsibilities - Included usage examples where appropriate - Organized documentation into logical categories ### 4. Type Safety Improvements - Added interfaces for data structures (ProgressDetails, Decision, ActiveContext) - Replaced generic 'any' types with specific interfaces - Improved method signatures with more specific parameter and return types - Added type guards for runtime type checking ### 5. Additional Utility Methods - Added FileUtils.delete() for file/directory deletion - Added FileUtils.copy() for file/directory copying - Added FileUtils.joinPath() for path joining - Added MemoryBankManager.createBackup() for creating backups - Added ProgressTracker.clearSessionNotes() for clearing session notes ### 6. Robustness Improvements - Added checks for section existence before replacement in markdown files - Improved timestamp formatting with both date and time - Enhanced formatting of lists in markdown files - Added state tracking (isRunning) to prevent duplicate server starts - Implemented graceful shutdown handling ### 7. Path Handling Improvements - Enhanced path resolution for both absolute and relative paths - Added support for environment variables in paths - Improved detection of existing memory-bank directories - Standardized path handling across the codebase ### 8. File Naming Convention Standardization - Migrated from camelCase to kebab-case for all Memory Bank files - Added support for both conventions during transition - Implemented a migration utility for renaming files - Updated all references to use the new convention ### 9. Status Prefix System Enhancement - Added a new status prefix `[MEMORY BANK: UPDATING]` - Updated all mode configurations to include the new status prefix - Enhanced the UMB command to use the UPDATING status during updates ### 10. Project Documentation - Created a comprehensive README.md with installation and usage instructions - Updated Memory Bank files with current project state - Added decision log entry explaining the code improvements - Organized documentation into logical categories ## Ongoing Improvements ### 11. Advanced Type Safety Improvements - Replace remaining 'any' types with specific interfaces - Implement discriminated union types for complex data structures - Add runtime type validation for external data - Use TypeScript utility types for more flexible type definitions - Implement generic types for utility functions - Create typed constants for enum-like values ### 12. Code Organization Improvements - Centralize all type definitions in a dedicated types directory - Create namespaces for related types - Implement barrel exports for cleaner imports - Separate interfaces by domain (file operations, memory bank, progress tracking) ### 13. Testing Improvements - Add type-safe test utilities - Implement mock types for testing - Add type assertions in tests - Create test factories with proper typing - Increase test coverage for critical components ## Benefits - Improved code readability for international developers - More robust error handling for better reliability - Enhanced type safety for fewer runtime errors - Better documentation for easier onboarding - Additional utility methods for more functionality - More professional project presentation - Greater robustness in path handling and file operations - Consistent file naming conventions - More transparent status indication --- _Last updated: March 8, 2024_
