      <title>AI tools write great code. They just don't know your architecture.</title>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;We love Cursor. We love Claude. We love Copilot.&lt;br&gt;
But six months ago we noticed something quietly breaking our codebase.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Not bugs. Not bad code. Drift.&lt;br&gt;
Our AI tools kept generating perfectly functional code that slowly violated decisions we'd already made as a team. The repository pattern we'd agreed on. The state management library we'd picked after two weeks of debate. The validation approach our senior engineer insisted on.&lt;br&gt;
None of it was anywhere AI could actually read.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;It lived in:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;A Slack thread from 8 months ago&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;An ARCHITECTURE.md nobody had touched in a year&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Three .cursorrules files that contradicted each other&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;One senior engineer's memory
So AI guessed. And every wrong guess added one more brick of drift.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The fix we built:&lt;br&gt;
Hopsule is a memory layer that sits between your team's decisions and your AI tools.&lt;br&gt;
You record a decision once. Hopsule structures it, versions it, and injects it into every AI session automatically via MCP.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Example:&lt;br&gt;
Your team accepts: "Database access must go through the repository layer."&lt;br&gt;
Every Cursor, Claude, or Copilot session that follows knows it, without you typing it again.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Mental model:&lt;br&gt;
Humans decide. Hopsule stores. AI follows.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;What's included:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;MCP server (Cursor, Claude, Copilot)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;IDE extension for inline enforcement&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;CLI Tool (npm i -g hopsule)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Decision lifecycle (Draft → Accepted → Deprecated)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;GitHub Sync&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Decision Graph&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Advisory-only. We never block your code, just surface conflicts where they happen.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Honest question for devs:&lt;br&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;How are you keeping your AI tools aligned with your architecture today? .cursorrules? ARCHITECTURE.md? Nothing?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Would love to hear what's working and what isn't.&lt;/p&gt;
