A companion file for every directory.
my-project/
├── README.md    ─── documents the project
└── me.md        ─── documents your context

README.md tells anyone what a project is.
Your companion file tells you where you are in it.

Status, next steps, session notes — whatever only you need to know. It's a markdown file. It lives alongside README.md. It never modifies anything.

Choose your companion filename
devme creates a file with this name in every directory you register.
Must end in .md and not be empty.
~/projects/my-project/
├── README.md
└── me.md  ← your companion file

Use your name, initials, or just me.md. Add it to .gitignore to keep it private, or commit it to share context with your team.
