VAN Command - Initialization & Entry Point

This command initializes the Memory Bank system, performs platform detection, determines task complexity, and routes to appropriate workflows.

Memory Bank Integration

CRITICAL: All Memory Bank files are located in memory-bank/ directory:

• memory-bank/tasks.md - Source of truth for task tracking
• memory-bank/activeContext.md - Current focus
• memory-bank/progress.md - Implementation status
• memory-bank/projectbrief.md - Project foundation

Progressive Rule Loading

This command loads rules progressively to optimize context usage:

Step 1: Load Core Rules (Always Required)

Load: .cursor/rules/isolation_rules/main.mdc
Load: .cursor/rules/isolation_rules/Core/memory-bank-paths.mdc
Load: .cursor/rules/isolation_rules/Core/platform-awareness.mdc
Load: .cursor/rules/isolation_rules/Core/file-verification.mdc

Step 2: Load VAN Mode Map

Load: .cursor/rules/isolation_rules/visual-maps/van_mode_split/van-mode-map.mdc

Step 3: Load Complexity-Specific Rules (Based on Task Analysis)

After determining complexity level, load:

• Level 1: .cursor/rules/isolation_rules/Level1/workflow-level1.mdc
• Level 2-4: Load plan mode rules (transition to PLAN command)

Workflow

1. Platform Detection

   • Detect operating system
   • Adapt commands for platform
   • Set path separators

2. Memory Bank Verification

   • Check if memory-bank/ directory exists
   • If not, create Memory Bank structure
   • Verify essential files exist

3. Task Analysis

   • Read memory-bank/tasks.md if exists
   • Analyze task requirements
   • Determine complexity level (1-4)

4. Route Based on Complexity

   • Level 1: Continue in VAN mode, proceed to implementation
   • Level 2-4: Transition to /plan command

5. Update Memory Bank

   • Update memory-bank/tasks.md with complexity determination
   • Update memory-bank/activeContext.md with current focus

Usage

Type /van followed by your task description or initialization request.

Example:

/van Initialize project for adding user authentication feature

Next Steps

• Level 1 tasks: Proceed directly to /build command
• Level 2-4 tasks: Use /plan command for detailed planning
