Memory Bank MCP

# File Naming Convention ## Overview This document describes the file naming conventions used in the Memory Bank MCP system. All Memory Bank files follow the kebab-case format (with hyphens) for consistency and readability. ## Memory Bank File Names ### Core Files The Memory Bank system uses the following core files: | File Name (kebab-case) | Description | | ---------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------- | | `product-context.md` | Overall project information and goals | | `active-context.md` | Current state, ongoing tasks, and next steps | | `progress.md` | History of project updates and milestones | | `decision-log.md` | Record of important decisions with context and rationale | | `system-patterns.md` | Architecture and code patterns used in the project | ### Additional Files Additional files created in the Memory Bank should also follow the kebab-case convention: - `user-stories.md` - `api-documentation.md` - `deployment-guide.md` - `feature-roadmap.md` ## Configuration Files The system uses the following configuration files: | File Name | Description | | ----------------------- | ---------------------------- | | `.clinerules-architect` | Rules for the Architect mode | | `.clinerules-ask` | Rules for the Ask mode | | `.clinerules-code` | Rules for the Code mode | | `.clinerules-debug` | Rules for the Debug mode | | `.clinerules-test` | Rules for the Test mode | ## Historical Context The Memory Bank system previously used camelCase for file naming (e.g., `productContext.md`, `activeContext.md`). The system was migrated to kebab-case for better readability and consistency with common Markdown file naming conventions. For backward compatibility, the system still recognizes both formats, but all new files should use the kebab-case format. ## Migration If you have existing Memory Bank files in camelCase format, you can use the `migrate_file_naming` tool to automatically rename them to kebab-case: ``` /mcp memory-bank-mcp migrate_file_naming random_string=migrate ``` ## Best Practices 1. **Use kebab-case for all new files**: All new files should use the kebab-case format (with hyphens). 2. **Be consistent**: Use the same naming convention throughout your project. 3. **Use descriptive names**: File names should clearly indicate the content of the file. 4. **Keep names concise**: Avoid overly long file names. --- _Last updated: March 8, 2024_
