RelayContext
A Node.js-based CLI tool that captures and persists structured AI coding context-reasoning, decisions, and task state-alongside Git branches. It enables seamless continuation of AI-assisted development across sessions, IDEs, and devices without re-explaining project architecture or progress.
Problem Statement
AI-assisted coding sessions lose critical context whenever a developer switches branches, devices, or IDEs. Re-explaining project architecture, prior decisions, and task progress to an AI assistant is tedious and error-prone, leading to inconsistencies and wasted time.
Methodology
Built a CLI tool in Node.js that hooks into Git workflows to automatically capture and persist structured context-including reasoning chains, architectural decisions, and task state-as JSON files alongside branches. Implemented commands for save, resume, log, diff, handoff, and share to support the full development lifecycle.
Results
Successfully published as an NPM module. The tool eliminates the need to re-explain project context when resuming AI-assisted sessions, reducing onboarding time per session by an estimated 80%. Supports cross-IDE and cross-device workflows seamlessly.
