Contains the stubs and installer logic used by framework-specific packages. What is MAP? ------------ [](#what-is-map) MAP is a structured set of markdown files that AI coding agents read at session start. It gives every session — with any tool — a reliable starting point: what the project is, how to run it, what's been decided and why, where to pick up from last time, and accumulated knowledge about what doesn't work. Without it, each AI session starts from zero. With it, sessions start informed. What you gain ------------- [](#what-you-gain) ### The AI remembers what it learned [](#the-ai-remembers-what-it-learned) `docs/memory/` files accumulate project-specific knowledge across sessions — gotchas, database quirks, testing patterns, environment surprises. The AI reads these at startup and doesn't repeat mistakes it's already made on your project. `docs/memory/shared.md` is committed to the repo, so every developer's AI sessions share the same team-level learnings. ### The AI knows your project from the first message [](#the-ai-knows-your-project-from-the-first-message) `AGENTS.md` tells every tool your stack, your test and build commands, and what files to read for what purpose. The AI doesn't ask what framework you're on or how to run tests — it already knows. ### Decisions don't get lost [](#decisions-dont-get-lost) `docs/ARCHITECTURE_HISTORY.md` is append-only. Every significant architectural decision is recorded with its alternatives and reasoning. When a decision gets revisited months later, the AI can explain why it was made the first time. ### Bugs stay visible [](#bugs-stay-visible) `docs/BUGS.md` is a live list the AI maintains automatically — appended on discovery, moved to `docs/BUGS_ARCHIVE.md` on fix. Known issues don't disappear from context at session end. ### Security and testing standards apply every session [](#security-and-testing-standards-apply-every-session) `.claude/rules/security.md` and `.claude/rules/testing.md` load automatically each Claude Code session. The AI follows your coverage requirements and security practices without being reminded. ### One source of truth, four tools [](#one-source-of-truth-four-tools) MAP works with Claude Code, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot, and Cursor. Each tool gets its own entry point file (`CLAUDE.md`, `GEMINI.md`, `.cursor/rules/agents.mdc`, `.github/copilot-instructions.md`), but they all point at — or inline — the same `AGENTS.md`. Update one file, all tools stay in sync. ### Personal overrides without team noise [](#personal-overrides-without-team-noise) `CLAUDE.local.md` is gitignored. Each developer can add personal preferences for their machine without affecting anyone else's sessions. --- Documentation that writes itself -------------------------------- [](#documentation-that-writes-itself) MAP defines a set of **write rules** — declarative triggers built into `AGENTS.md` that tell the AI exactly what to write, where, and when. The AI follows them immediately without being asked, as a side effect of normal work: When the AI discovers…It writes to…A bug (from any source)`docs/BUGS.md` — appended immediatelyA bug is fixed and verifiedEntry moved to `docs/BUGS_ARCHIVE.md`A hard-to-reverse architectural decision`docs/ARCHITECTURE_HISTORY.md` — decision, alternatives considered, and reasoningA new project-specific pattern`docs/CODE_PATTERNS.md` — checked first to avoid duplicationA new domain term or abbreviation`docs/GLOSSARY.md`Surprising behaviour (framework, DB, tests, environment)`docs/memory/[topic].md` — routed by subjectTime wasted on a mistake`docs/memory/gotchas.md` — capped at 10, least-actionable removed when fullA schema change`docs/SCHEMA.md` — updated immediatelyAn architecture change`docs/ARCHITECTURE.md` — updated to reflect current stateTests added or coverage run`docs/TESTING_COVERAGE.md` — from actual output, never estimatedWrites happen immediately — not deferred to session end, not optional. When the AI finds a bug mid-task, it appends to `BUGS.md` before continuing. When it makes an architectural call, it records the decision and reasoning before moving on. The priority order is fixed: `BUGS.md` first, `ARCHITECTURE_HISTORY.md` second, everything else after. At session end the AI updates `docs/STATUS.md` with current project health and routes everything learned during the session to the appropriate `docs/memory/` file. The result is documentation that reflects what is actually true about the project right now — maintained continuously as a side effect of development work, not as a separate task someone needs to remember to do. --- Designed for lean context ------------------------- [](#designed-for-lean-context) Every file in MAP has a size ceiling enforced by the AI's own write rules. `AGENTS.md` stays under 100 lines. `docs/memory/gotchas.md` caps at 10 entries. Memory topic files cap at 50. When a file fills up, the AI summarises or removes before adding — so files stay dense and high-signal rather than growing without bound. Beyond size caps, the structure itself controls what gets loaded: **Selective loading, not full context at startup.** `AGENTS.md`'s "Load when relevant" section tells the AI which files to read for which tasks. A session fixing a bug doesn't load `ARCHITECTURE.md` or `SCHEMA.md`. A session touching the database doesn't load `DOCKER.md`. Files are pulled on demand. **Index before content.** `MEMORY.md` is a one-page index — a table of topic files and entry counts. The AI reads it first to know what knowledge exists, then loads only the topic file relevant to the current task. `docs/memory/database.md` is never loaded during a UI fix. **History separated from current state.** `ARCHITECTURE_HISTORY.md` grows large over time; `ARCHITECTURE.md` stays a concise snapshot of current structure. You pay for historical decision tokens only when a decision is actively being revisited. **Write-on-discovery keeps future context accurate.** The AI writes to docs immediately when it finds something rather than waiting until session end. Accurate docs mean future sessions don't waste tokens working from stale context or asking clarifying questions they shouldn't need to ask. The result: sessions start faster because the AI isn't loading irrelevant context, and the token cost per session stays proportional to the actual scope of the work. --- What gets installed ------------------- [](#what-gets-installed) ``` AGENTS.md — master instructions every tool reads CLAUDE.md — Claude Code entry point (@AGENTS.md) GEMINI.md — Gemini CLI entry point (@AGENTS.md) .claude/rules/security.md — security rules, auto-loaded every session .claude/rules/testing.md — coverage and test quality rules, auto-loaded .github/copilot-instructions.md — Copilot entry point (AGENTS.md inlined) .cursor/rules/agents.mdc — Cursor entry point (@AGENTS.md) docs/STATUS.md — project health: build, tests, blockers, milestones docs/BUGS.md — open bugs (AI-maintained) docs/BUGS_ARCHIVE.md — fixed bugs (append-only) docs/ARCHITECTURE.md — current system structure (AI-maintained) docs/ARCHITECTURE_HISTORY.md — decision log (append-only) docs/CODE_PATTERNS.md — project-specific patterns (AI-maintained) docs/FEATURE_FLAGS.md — feature flag registry (AI-maintained) docs/SCHEMA.md — database schema and contracts (AI-maintained) docs/GLOSSARY.md — domain terms and abbreviations docs/DOCKER.md — container reference docs/SETUP.md — local dev setup for new developers docs/TESTING_COVERAGE.md — coverage tracking (AI-maintained from output) docs/MEMORY.example.md — memory index template (copy to MEMORY.md) docs/memory/gotchas.example.md — critical mistakes to avoid docs/memory/framework.example.md — framework/language surprises docs/memory/database.example.md — database behaviour surprises docs/memory/testing.example.md — test framework quirks docs/memory/environment.example.md — environment and Docker surprises docs/memory/performance.example.md — performance bottlenecks and surprises docs/memory/agents.example.md — agent pipeline learnings (optional) docs/memory/shared.example.md — team-shared learnings (committed) docs/agents/agent.example.md — template for documenting a specific agent docs/api/api.example.md — template for documenting an API docs/integrations/integration.example.md — template for documenting an integration ``` --- Framework packages ------------------ [](#framework-packages) Install MAP via your framework's package — this core package is a dependency, not meant to be required directly: FrameworkPackageLaravel[`larablocks/map-ai-laravel`](https://github.com/larablocks/map-ai-laravel)For package authors ------------------- [](#for-package-authors) If you want to build a MAP installer for another framework, require this package and use: ``` use larablocks\MapAi\Installer; $result = (new Installer)->install( stubsPath: Installer::stubsPath(), targetPath: '/path/to/project', force: false, ); ``` `$result` contains a `files` array with per-file `action` (`copy`, `update`, `skip`, `missing`) and `backed_up` (true when an existing file was backed up to `.bak` before overwriting), plus a `gitignore` key (`updated` or `skipped`).
