ai session · no context
▍
the gap
01

every session starts cold.

The AI asks what your stack is. Suggests things you ruled out last month. Doesn't know which files are off-limits. Every conversation starts blank.

new session
? what framework are you using?
? any constraints I should know?
? what was decided last session?
? can you remind me of the context?
02

decisions vanish.

Git tracks what changed. Nothing tracks why. No record of why the AI chose approach A over B. Six months later, nobody knows.

6 months later
? why was date-fns removed?
? why is auth middleware read-only?
? what approaches were ruled out?
reasoning: none found.
03

context dies.

Stack, conventions, constraints — re-explained every single time. An AI without your constraints will suggest things that are off-limits.

ai suggestion
try date-fns for timezone support.
add moment.js as a fallback.
(ruled out. twice. still suggested.)

then the AI
remembered.

what changes
01

the AI already knows your project.

After a one-time setup, every session starts with your stack, constraints, and recent decisions already loaded. The AI doesn't ask what framework you're using. It operates as if it was already in the room.

session context auto-injected
> stack: Next.js 15, TypeScript, Tailwind
> constraints: no date-fns (UTC+5:30 issue)
> auth-middleware: read-only — legal hold
> recent: migrated from pages/ → app/ router
ready. no re-explanation needed.
02

important reasoning never disappears.

Every AI work session captures what was done, why, and what was ruled out — linked to the commit it produced. Travels with every clone. Readable by anyone without a prepcli account.

$ prepcli log
May 24 · debug · 3 turns · commit a4f2c1d
rebuilt calendar — dropped date-fns
Why: UTC+5:30 half-hour offsets fail silently
Tried: dayjs, moment.js — same problem
May 22 · prep · 5 turns · commit def4561
added rate limiting to finalize endpoint
03

a new team member is ready immediately.

Clone the repo and run two commands. Every decision, every constraint, every past AI session is immediately available. No catch-up. No wiki to read.

# new member, first day
$ git clone repo && cd project
$ prepcli auth login && prepcli install
> context: Next.js 15, TypeScript, tRPC
> 34 decisions loaded from history
ready. full context from day one.
workflow slash commands

Six structured workflows installed into your AI tool. Each starts with your project context already loaded and ends with a decision record saved automatically.

prepcli workflows
/debug
structured bug diagnosis
Asks four targeted questions grounded in your actual codebase. Produces a diagnosis, not a guess.
/plan
feature planning before any code
Surfaces ambiguities, flags constraint conflicts, identifies integration risks before a line is written.
/prep
generate the structured prompt
Turns a task description into a fully-scoped prompt with all context made explicit.
/refactor
context-aware refactor sessions
Knows which files are off-limits, patterns must be preserved, and what was ruled out in past sessions.
/review
code review with project context
Reviews against your actual conventions — not generic best practices. Flags real violations.
/write
docs, specs, technical writing
Writes documentation that reflects the actual state of your project — your terminology, your decisions.
