🚀 Introducing Knowns CLI - Give Your AI Persistent Memory (Pre-launch Preview)

Hey everyone! 👋
We're excited to share Knowns CLI with you - a tool we've been building to solve a problem that many developers face daily.
😫 The Problem
Ever find yourself stuck in this loop?
Paste docs into AI
AI writes code
AI forgets earlier instructions
You realize you forgot to paste the new schema
Start over...
We were spending more time managing the AI's memory than actually building our product.
💡 The Solution: Knowns CLI
Instead of being the manual bridge between project management and code, we built a tool that lets the AI read the map itself.
When you say "work on Task 42", you don't paste anything. The AI will:
✅ Read the task state automatically
✅ Check related documentation
✅ Understand exactly what "done" looks like
✅ Extract knowledge and update docs when done
⚡ Key Features
Task Management - Create tasks with acceptance criteria, track progress from terminal
MCP Auto-setup - Run knowns mcp setup to integrate with Claude Code automatically
Modular AI Guidelines - Output stage-specific rules for each phase
Built-in Time Tracking - No extra tools needed
Web UI - Kanban board + docs browser, git-friendly, zero lock-in
🛠️ Works With
Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, GitHub Copilot, Gemini CLI, Cline, and more via MCP integration or CLAUDE.md/AGENTS.md.
🎯 We Want to Hear From You!
