AI Context Management System

“AI assistants forget. This system remembers.”

The Problem

Large Language Models operate with context windows — temporary workspace that resets between sessions. When a conversation ends, the context disappears entirely.

This means:

• Every new conversation starts from zero
• You re-explain your project repeatedly
• The AI makes errors you already corrected
• Institutional knowledge fragments across dozens of chats

The Solution

A multi-tier external memory system that AI assistants read at session start, creating persistent awareness across unlimited conversations.

System Architecture

The Four-Tier Hierarchy

TIER 1: MASTER CONTEXT
├── Core facts (numbers, credentials, economics)
├── READ EVERY SESSION
└── Changes rarely (stable facts only)
        │
        ▼
TIER 2: SYSTEM REGISTRY  
├── All components, integrations, dependencies
├── Read when referencing specific systems
└── The "how things connect" reference
        │
        ▼
TIER 3: AGENT SYNC
├── Current state of all agents
├── Recent accomplishments
├── Read before starting work
└── The "what happened recently" log
        │
        ▼
TIER 4: TASK FILES
├── Session handoffs
├── Specific task context
├── Read for task-specific work
└── The "details for this job" level

Why This Structure Works

1. Prioritized Loading — Critical facts load first, even with limited context windows
2. Selective Depth — Detailed info only loads when needed
3. Temporal + Functional — Knows “what happened” AND “how things work”
4. Platform Agnostic — Works with any LLM (GPT, Claude, Gemini, local models)

Session Protocol

At Session Start

1. AI reads 01_MASTER_CONTEXT.md
   └─ Establishes core facts

2. AI reads 04_UNIFIED_AGENT_SYNC.md  
   └─ Understands current state

3. AI checks relevant DROPZONE
   └─ Finds pending tasks/handoffs

4. AI identifies role
   └─ KNIGHT, BISHOP, ROOK, or PAWN

During Session

1. Reference Master Context for facts
   └─ Never invent numbers

2. Note system interconnections
   └─ Changes ripple across systems

3. Document as you go
   └─ Don't wait until session end

At Session End

1. Update Agent Sync
   └─ Log accomplishments

2. Create handoff (if significant work)
   └─ Use standard template

3. Log any corrections
   └─ Prevent error recurrence

Error Prevention

The Recent Corrections file prevents the most frustrating AI behavior: repeating errors you already fixed.

How It Works

1. When you find an error, fix it in the source file
2. Log the correction: Old value → Correct value
3. AI checks this file before generating content
4. Same error never appears twice

Example Corrections

Multi-Agent Coordination

For complex projects requiring specialized AI assistance:

Agents can’t directly access each other’s workspaces. File transfers go through the Unified Agent Sync and DROPZONE folders.

Platform Integration

ChatGPT Projects

1. Create Project
2. Upload 01_MASTER_CONTEXT.md and 02_SYSTEM_REGISTRY.md
3. Paste custom instructions from 03_AI_CUSTOM_INSTRUCTIONS.md

Claude Projects

1. Create Project
2. Upload all context files
3. Add project instructions

Cursor IDE

1. Create .cursor/rules/ folder
2. Add .mdc rules file
3. Rules apply automatically to all sessions
