Hey Product Hunt! πŸ‘‹ Howz here, creator of Knowns. I built this out of pure frustration. Every AI coding session started the same way: copy-paste docs, explain the project structure, remind AI about conventions, paste the task details... then watch AI forget everything in the next chat. I was spending more time managing AI's memory than actually building my app. So I asked myself: what if AI could just read the project context itself? That's how Knowns CLI was born β€” a task and documentation manager that AI can actually read through MCP integration. Now when I say "work on task 42", the AI already knows: β†’ What the task is β†’ Which docs are relevant β†’ What conventions to follow No more copy-pasting. No more "wait, let me give you the context." The best part? When AI learns something new while coding, it can update the docs automatically. The knowledge loop is finally closed. Would love to hear how you're currently managing context with AI tools β€” and happy to answer any questions!

@howznguyenΒ Context loss is still one of the biggest productivity killers with AI coding.

Letting AI read tasks and docs directly instead of relying on copy paste feels like the right mental model. Closing the loop by updating docs is a strong differentiator, not just convenience.

I am seeing the same pattern while building Curatora. The real wins come when AI reduces meta work and keeps systems in sync. This feels like a solid step in that direction.

Totally agree with this.

Beyond just git storage, I'm actually planning to build a self-hosted solution that serves as a central hub for all project documentation. The idea is that the entire team can contribute and keep things updated continuously.

Think about syncing docs between Backend and Frontend, or between Backend and Mobile App β€” right now that's a manual headache. Having a single source of truth that AI can read from (and write back to) would eliminate so much friction.

And it's not just technical docs β€” I want to include tasks, plans, milestones, and even audit logs for team members. Basically everything that gives AI the full context it needs to actually be useful, without the constant copy-paste dance.

Sounds like Curatora is tackling similar problems. Would love to see how you're approaching the "keeping systems in sync" part β€” that's where most solutions fall short.

Context loss is expensive. Building systems that maintain context by design feels like the unlock.

Howz is my friend, and I'm using Knowns in my stealth startup now. It definitely saved us a lot of time and effort since our team is using Claude Code a lot.

No more copy-pasting context, no more repeating the same prompt, enforcing architecture.

I would recommend this 100%.

Thanks bro! πŸ™

Working with you and your team on that stealth project has been incredibly valuable. The feedback from your team helped me improve so many things β€” from the CLI experience to how documents are structured and synced.

Building a tool is one thing, but seeing it actually save time for a real team shipping real products? That's the best validation I could ask for.

Appreciate the support, and can't wait to see what you guys are building! πŸš€
