Context-Aware AI Coding

Your notes become context for your AI assistant. No more re-explaining project decisions.

>  and help me design the event schema
>  for push notifications."

Claude reads your notes → understands context →
gives informed recommendations

Architecture Decision Records

Document decisions during AI sessions. Next time, your AI already knows the context.

Code Documentation

Tell Cursor: "Create a note documenting the endpoint I just built." AI reads your code and writes the docs.

Session Handoff
