Zero re-explaining
Point the AI at the file and it sees the current bugs, tasks, and status without a long setup prompt.
FIDO.md is a plain markdown source of truth for fixes, todos, and project decisions. Drop it into any AI session and skip the same context dump every time.
What it does
Instead of explaining bugs, priorities, and half-finished work every session, you keep them in a compact markdown file your AI can immediately act on.
You re-explain the project, the bug, the constraints, the priority, and what already failed — then hope the AI remembers it next time.
You say “check FIDO,” and the AI starts from the latest fixes, todos, and completed work. Less warmup. More shipping.
No platform lock-in, no database, no ritual. Commit it, paste it, edit it, archive it, or let your AI maintain it as it works.
Why it works
FIDO.md gives your AI enough structure to understand intent, but stays lightweight enough that you’ll actually keep it updated.
Point the AI at the file and it sees the current bugs, tasks, and status without a long setup prompt.
Add, remove, or mark items done as you work. The file evolves naturally with the project.
Plain text means version control, code review, diffs, and compatibility with every AI coding tool.
Paste or upload it, say what to tackle, and the next session starts where the last one ended.
How to use it
Keep entries short, specific, and easy to act on. Your AI can infer the rest from the codebase.
Ask your AI to scan the project and create a first FIDO.md with known fixes and todos.
When you notice something broken, missing, or decided, add one compact line.
In a new session, upload or paste the file and tell the AI which item to work through.
Keep a trail of completed work so future sessions avoid repeating solved problems.
