Welcome to the CursorRIPER Framework wiki! This wiki provides comprehensive documentation on using the framework to enhance your AI-assisted software development in Cursor IDE.

What is CursorRIPER?

CursorRIPER is a comprehensive framework for AI-assisted software development in Cursor IDE that combines structured workflow with persistent memory. It prevents unintended modifications while maintaining perfect continuity across coding sessions.

The name "RIPER" stands for the five core operational modes:

• Research: Information gathering and understanding existing code
• Innovate: Brainstorming potential approaches and solutions
• Plan: Creating detailed technical specifications
• Execute: Implementing approved plans with precision
• Review: Validating implementation against plans

Key Features

• Structured Workflow: Clear separation of development phases
• Memory Bank: Persistent documentation across sessions
• Project Intelligence: Learning from patterns and preferences
• State Management: Explicit tracking of project phase and mode
• Safe Initialization: Guided setup with protection against re-initialization

Quick Start

1. Copy the framework files to your project
2. Initialize the framework
3. Follow the START phase to set up your project
4. Use the RIPER workflow for ongoing development

For detailed instructions, see the Getting Started page.
