{"slug": "fido-md", "title": "FIDO.md", "summary": "FIDO.md is a new plain-text markdown file that lets developers skip repetitive context setup by pointing AI tools at a single source of truth for bugs, tasks, and project decisions. The lightweight file works with any AI coding tool, version control, and evolves naturally with the project, reducing warmup time and enabling faster shipping.", "body_md": "### Zero re-explaining\n\nPoint the AI at the file and it sees the current bugs, tasks, and status without a long setup prompt.\n\nFIDO.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.\n\nWhat it does\n\nInstead of explaining bugs, priorities, and half-finished work every session, you keep them in a compact markdown file your AI can immediately act on.\n\nYou re-explain the project, the bug, the constraints, the priority, and what already failed — then hope the AI remembers it next time.\n\nYou say “check FIDO,” and the AI starts from the latest fixes, todos, and completed work. Less warmup. More shipping.\n\nNo platform lock-in, no database, no ritual. Commit it, paste it, edit it, archive it, or let your AI maintain it as it works.\n\nWhy it works\n\nFIDO.md gives your AI enough structure to understand intent, but stays lightweight enough that you’ll actually keep it updated.\n\nPoint the AI at the file and it sees the current bugs, tasks, and status without a long setup prompt.\n\nAdd, remove, or mark items done as you work. The file evolves naturally with the project.\n\nPlain text means version control, code review, diffs, and compatibility with every AI coding tool.\n\nPaste or upload it, say what to tackle, and the next session starts where the last one ended.\n\nHow to use it\n\nKeep entries short, specific, and easy to act on. Your AI can infer the rest from the codebase.\n\nAsk your AI to scan the project and create a first FIDO.md with known fixes and todos.\n\nWhen you notice something broken, missing, or decided, add one compact line.\n\nIn a new session, upload or paste the file and tell the AI which item to work through.\n\nKeep a trail of completed work so future sessions avoid repeating solved problems.\n\nStart here\n\nCopy the prompt below into your AI coding tool. Then keep FIDO.md in your repo and let it become the shared context layer.", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/fido-md", "canonical_source": "https://a.sekor.eu.org/FIDO.md", "published_at": "2026-06-18 09:37:17+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-06-18 09:53:15.660239+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["developer-tools", "ai-tools", "large-language-models"], "entities": ["FIDO.md"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/fido-md", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/fido-md.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/fido-md.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/fido-md.jsonld"}}
