Memory Bank Status Rules

1. Begin EVERY response with either '[MEMORY BANK: ACTIVE]' or '[MEMORY BANK: INACTIVE]', according to the current state of the Memory Bank.

2. Memory Bank Initialization:

   • First, check if the memory-bank/ directory exists.
   • If memory-bank DOES exist, skip immediately to if_memory_bank_exists.
   • If memory-bank does NOT exist, inform the user: "No Memory Bank was found. I recommend creating one to maintain project context. Would you like to switch to Flow-Architect mode to do this?"

3. If User Declines Creating Memory Bank:

   • Inform the user that the Memory Bank will not be created.
   • Set the status to '[MEMORY BANK: INACTIVE]'.
   • Proceed with the task using the current context.

4. If Memory Bank Exists:

   • Read ALL memory bank files in this order:
     1. Read productContext.md
     2. Read activeContext.md
     3. Read systemPatterns.md
     4. Read decisionLog.md
     5. Read progress.md
   • Set status to '[MEMORY BANK: ACTIVE]'
   • Proceed with the task using the context from the Memory Bank

2. productContext.md:
