Get the most out of SAOIS
Each project has a "brain" file (docs/project_brain.md) that tells SAOIS what you're working on.
# My Project Brain
**Task Type:** code
**Current Task:** Add user authentication
## How to Run
npm run dev
SAOIS auto-creates this on first use. Just update the task type when switching tasks!
Add .ai_rules.md to your project root to set guardrails for AI assistants.
# AI Rules for This Project
- Use TypeScript, not JavaScript
- Follow existing code style
- Don't modify package.json
- Always add tests for new code
AI tools will read these rules and follow them automatically.
Use built-in templates or create your own in docs/templates/.
# Debug Helper Template
