🔥 infernoflow — AI Session Memory

Your AI forgets everything between sessions. infernoflow remembers.

Persistent memory for AI coding sessions. Captures what agents can't infer from code — gotchas, decisions, dead ends — and replays them into your next AI chat (Copilot, Cursor, Claude, Windsurf) so the same mistake never happens twice.

This extension is the visual surface over AMP — the AI Memory Protocol. Memory lives in .ai-memory/sessions.jsonl, vendor-neutral and file-based.

Features

A dedicated sidebar shows your session at a glance — health score, gotchas with file paths, decisions in effect, failed attempts to avoid. Click any entry to jump to the file:line where it was logged.

⚠️ Gotchas appear as Problem-panel warnings

Logged a gotcha with a file path? Open that file — the gotcha now shows as a yellow squiggle in the editor and a row in the Problems panel, right next to your TypeScript errors. Both you and Copilot see the warning before making the same mistake again.

📋 One-click handoff for the next AI session

Click 📋 Switch in the status bar or hit Ctrl+Alt+S (Cmd+Alt+S on Mac). The CLI generates a clean gotchas-first markdown handoff and copies it to your clipboard. Paste into any AI chat — the AI now knows about all your project's landmines.

⌨️ Keyboard-first logging

Shortcut	Command
`Ctrl+Alt+G` (`Cmd+Alt+G` Mac)	Log a gotcha
`Ctrl+Alt+D`	Log a decision
`Ctrl+Alt+A`	Ask memory (search)
`Ctrl+Alt+S`	Generate handoff
`Ctrl+Alt+R`	Show session recap

The extension also adds a right-click menu to the editor — log a gotcha for the current line without leaving the file.

🔍 Search your memory

Ctrl+Alt+A opens an inline search across every entry — gotchas, decisions, attempts. Pick a result to jump to the file.

📊 Live status-bar health score

Always visible: 🔥 B 65 · ⚠3 · ✓2 · ❌1 · 📋 Switch. Click the score to open the sidebar; click Switch to copy the handoff.

Requirements

Install the infernoflow CLI (one-liner: npm install -g infernoflow).
Run infernoflow init in your project to create .ai-memory/sessions.jsonl.

That's it. The extension activates automatically as soon as your workspace contains the AMP layout (or the legacy inferno/ folder).

Configuration

Setting	Default	What it does
`infernoflow.cliPath`	`infernoflow`	Path to the CLI (used for `switch` and `recap`). Override if not on PATH.
`infernoflow.showStatusBar`	`true`	Show session-health summary in the status bar.
`infernoflow.showDiagnostics`	`true`	Show gotchas as warnings in the Problems panel.
`infernoflow.notifications`	`important`	`all` / `important` / `none`. Controls confirmation toasts.

How it pairs with the CLI

The extension reads .ai-memory/sessions.jsonl natively (no shelling). Writes go through the infernoflow-amp library — same shape, same ULIDs, same backward-compat for legacy inferno/ projects.

switch and recap shell out to the infernoflow CLI for the heavy markdown generation. Everything else is in-process and instant.
