## 🏗️ Project Convention Learning

The Enhanced MCP Memory Server automatically learns and remembers project-specific conventions to prevent AI assistants from suggesting incorrect commands or approaches:

### Automatic Detection
- **Operating System**: Windows vs Unix, preferred shell and commands
- **Project Type**: Node.js, Python, Rust, Go, Java, MCP servers, FastAPI, Django
- **Development Tools**: IDEs, linters, formatters, CI/CD configurations
- **Package Management**: npm, yarn, pip, poetry, cargo, go modules
- **Build Systems**: Vite, Webpack, Make, batch scripts, shell scripts

### Smart Command Suggestions
```bash
# Instead of generic commands, suggests project-specific ones:
User types: "node server.js"
AI suggests: "Use 'npm run dev' instead for this project"

User types: "python main.py" 
AI suggests: "Use 'uvicorn main:app --reload' for this FastAPI project"
```

### Windows Optimization
- Automatically detects Windows environment
- Uses `cmd.exe` and Windows-appropriate path separators
- Suggests Windows-compatible commands (e.g., `dir` instead of `ls`)
- Handles Windows-specific Python and Node.js patterns

### Memory Integration
All learned conventions are stored as high-importance memories that:
- Appear in AI context for every interaction
- Persist across sessions and project switches
- Include environment warnings and project-specific guidance
- Prevent repeated incorrect command suggestions
