One file. One block. Fill in three lines once — then paste one message per AI session, and the AI runs the rest.
The ZIP contains exactly one file: START_HERE.md. The block and the NOTES.md template are both inside it — nothing else needed.
Create a private repo, copy the NOTES.md template in, and fill three fields by hand: Goal, Current state, Repository map.
Take the single block from START_HERE and paste it together with your NOTES.md (or the repo link).
Opens by reporting state and next task, checkpoints in the middle, writes the closing update at the end. You just say yes / no / commit.
One block. The older kit had several per-stage files — they now sit in reference/ for the curious. You never need them.
No. After setup, the AI drafts every update; you review and approve.
This kit is the free companion to the book Never Start from Scratch: Give Your Projects a Memory That Never Forgets by Daniel Marlow — free to read with Kindle Unlimited, or $9.99.
If it helped: a one-line review on Amazon is what lets the next person find the book — there is no other marketing here. Leave a review.
