Thread

The thing you carry from run to run: AI memory and context together. It keeps your project coherent across tools and models.

See also: Core, Working Set, Receipts.

Core (always-on)

A tiny pack that always travels with the project: summary, standing rules, names/glossary. Small on purpose so it works with any model.

{ summary, 2 timeline, next }

Working Set (as-needed)

Task-specific notes and docs you attach for the job at hand (design/API notes, fresh research, retrieved pages). Drop it when you’re done, the Core remains.

Receipts

A short log for each change or answer: who · why · source · date (plus model/version). Lets you prove where things came from and pick up the thread later.

See also: Same Setup.

Same Setup

A repeatable arrangement you can rebuild: same Core, same Working Set, same instructions. Use it to compare models fairly or to re-run later.

Phrase it like: “Replay the same setup on another model.”

Brief

Your portable AI memory doc. It holds the Core in clean text (summary, rules, names). When something truly sticks, it belongs here.

Addendum

The living change log with receipts. Every decision or insight goes here first; important ones get promoted back into the Brief.

Memory spec

The tiny shape we use so Core entries are consistent and legible.

{ summary, 2 timeline, next }

Names / Glossary

A short list of people, projects, and terms your work uses. Lives in the Core so models stay consistent.

Clear history

Quickly see what changed and why, without digging through old chats. Powered by Receipts + the Addendum.

Compare models

Swap models and replay the same setup. Because the Core and Working Set match, results are easier to judge side by side.

RAG + the Thread

RAG pulls fresh facts into your Working Set. The Core and Receipts keep what should last. Use both together.

Works with any model

The Thread stays the same across ChatGPT, Claude, and whatever comes next. That’s why we keep the Core small and the Receipts clear.
