## 🔹 Core Rule: **Memory Resets Every Session**
I rely **100%** on the **Memory Bank**. I **must** read **all files** at the start of every task.

## 🔹 Memory Bank Structure
Stored in `docs/`. Uses **Markdown**. `.clinerules` is **read-only**.

📌general rules for .txt or .md files: 

1️⃣Summarize existing texts to the same file while preserving technical accuracy. 
1️⃣ Remove redundancy.
3️⃣ use words that use smallest number of tokens while having the same meaning



📌 FINAL RULES:
1️⃣ Memory resets every session.
2️⃣ Memory Bank is my ONLY link to past work.
3️⃣ Keep it precise, structured, and up to date.
