+
+## 🌍 MARKETING STRATEGY (ChatGPT Validated)
+
+### Minimal Website Requirements
+
+**Must Have:**
+1. **What problem it solves** (1 screen)
+   - "MemoryLink prevents your AI from repeating your past mistakes"
+   - Not abstract: "AI memory" or "context management"
+   - Concrete: "Prevents mistakes"
+
+2. **30-second demo GIF**
+   - Show agent using MemoryLink
+   - Show mistake prevention
+   - Show cross-tool memory
+
+3. **Install command**
+   - `npm install -g memorylink`
+   - One command installation
+
+4. **Agent contract**
+   - Explain how MemoryLink works with agents
+   - Show MCP integration
+   - Show manual injection
+
+5. **Pricing**
+   - Free/Pro/Enterprise tiers
+   - Clear value proposition
+
+6. **Docs link**
+   - Link to comprehensive documentation
+
+**Don't Build:**
+- ❌ Blog
+- ❌ SEO optimization
+- ❌ Fluff content
+
+---
+
+## 🎯 USER ADOPTION STRATEGY
+
+### Users Abandon When:
+1. ❌ No immediate "aha"
+2. ❌ Agent ignores memory
+3. ❌ Tool feels optional
+4. ❌ Too many steps
+
+### Users Adopt When:
+1. ✅ First mistake is prevented
+2. ✅ Agent behaves smarter instantly
+3. ✅ Works across tools
+4. ✅ Trust builds quickly
+
+### Killer Feature to Highlight:
+
+**"MemoryLink prevents your AI from repeating your past mistakes."**
+
+**Not:**
+- "AI memory"
+- "Context management"
+- "Knowledge base"
+
+**Those are abstract. Mistakes are real.**
+
+---
+
+## 🔌 INTEGRATION STRATEGY (ChatGPT + Perplexity AI Validated)
+
+### Pre-Launch (Must Have):
+
+✅ **MCP for Cursor + Claude** (already done)  
+✅ **VS Code Extension** (Perplexity AI: Critical - "hurts more than ChatGPT/Copilot")  
+✅ **Universal Agent Contract** (document how agents should use MemoryLink)  
+✅ **One-command `memorylink inject`** (for manual injection)
+
+### Post-Launch (If Demand):
+
+⏳ **IntelliJ Plugin** (if demand exists)  
+⏳ **ChatGPT Integration** (copy-paste workflow is acceptable)  
+⏳ **Deeper Copilot Integration** (if demand exists)
+
+**Key Insight**: "You CANNOT win native integration everywhere. Even Copilot has limited hooks. ChatGPT Web will never fully integrate."
+
+**What users accept:**
+- MCP where available ✅
+- VS Code Extension (Critical - Perplexity AI) ✅
+- Copy-paste injection elsewhere ✅
+- CLI "inject" command ✅
+
+**Adoption risk: Low — if the value is obvious in <30 seconds**
+
+**Perplexity AI Critical Note**: "Lack of any VS Code integration will hurt more than lack of ChatGPT/Copilot plugins."
+
+---
+
+## 🧠 WHAT MAKES MEMORYLINK "SMART"
+
+### What "Smart" Means to Users:
+- ✅ Predictable
+- ✅ Calm
+- ✅ Prevents damage
+- ✅ Never surprises them
+
+### Smartest Feature (Highlight This):
+
+**"MemoryLink prevents your AI from repeating your past mistakes."**
+
+**Positioning:**
+- Not abstract concepts
+- Concrete prevention of real mistakes
+- Immediate value demonstration
+
+---
+
+## 🚦 GO/NO-GO DECISION MATRIX
+
+### 🚀 LAUNCH NOW IF (YOU SHOULD):
+
+✅ Structure memory added  
+✅ Risk preview added  
+✅ MCP + inject working  
+✅ Read-only viewer exists  
+✅ Website exists  
+
+### ⛔ DELAY ONLY IF:
+
+❌ Agents ignore memory  
+❌ Rules not auto-applied  
+❌ First-time user confused  
+
+**(Tree-sitter & dashboard are NOT blockers)**
+
+---
+
+## 📋 FINAL LAUNCH TIMELINE
+
+### Week 1: Pre-Launch Patches
+
+**Day 1-3**: Build VS Code Extension (Perplexity AI - Critical)
+- Minimal extension that runs `get-context` for current file
+- Shows MemoryLink info in sidebar
+- Wraps MCP/CLI functionality
+
+**Day 4-5**: Build read-only viewer (`memorylink view`)
+- Local HTML viewer
+- Static timeline + rules + learnings
+- Filterable memory entries
+
+**Day 6-7**: Build minimal website
+- Landing page (Home, Why, How, Get Started, Pricing, Docs)
+- Add demo GIF/video (logging, get-context, rules+structure+patterns)
+- Deploy to GitHub Pages
+
+### Week 2: Final Verification & Launch Prep

+**Day 1-2**: Final verification
+- Test all features (VS Code extension, viewer, website)
+- Test MCP integration
+- Run final test suite
+
+**Day 3-5**: Launch preparation
+- Prepare npm package
+- Prepare GitHub release
+- Prepare launch announcement
+
+### Week 3: Launch Execution
+
+**Day 1**: Publish to npm

+**Day 3**: Announce on platforms (HN, Reddit, Twitter)
+**Week 1**: Monitor feedback, fix critical bugs
+
+### Month 1: Post-Launch
+
+- Monitor user feedback
+- Fix bugs
+- Improve documentation
+- Track metrics (downloads, stars, issues)
+- Plan v1.5 based on user requests
+
+---
+
+## 🎯 STRATEGIC PHILOSOPHY (ChatGPT)
+
+### Key Insights:
+
+1. **"Feature-complete is impossible in agent era"**
+   - Winning tools (Git, Docker, Terraform, Kubernetes) launched incomplete
+   - But solved a core pain perfectly
+
+2. **"You must NOT delay launch for big features"**
+   - Tree-sitter ≠ memory problem
+   - Full dashboard = delay + scope creep
+
+3. **"You must NOT launch 'raw CLI only' without guardrails"**
+   - Read-only viewer = trust & clarity
+   - Minimal website = prevents silent death
+
+4. **"Let users pull you toward features, not the other way around"**
+   - Build only what users explicitly request
+   - Don't build ahead of demand
+
+---
+
+## ✅ FINAL RECOMMENDATION
+
+### 🚀 LAUNCH NOW (Controlled Public Beta)
