Install Default Script in `.roo` directory?

[deadcoder0904]

Rather than polluting root, it'd be helpful if .roo/ folder is used to install all the memory bank scripts by default.

Everyone from .vscode & even .cursor went that route for a reason.

If you want more files for memory bank, you can create that in the directory.

I went here for the same reason.

When I see it correctly, then this would also load the files automatically.

However, it would reduce the compatibility to the cline memory bank.

I think the following structure work as it does now:

.roo
├── rules-architect
│   └── 00-memory-bank.yml
├── rules-ask
│   └── 00-memory-bank.yml
├── rules-boomerang-mode
│   └── 00-memory-bank.yml
├── rules-code
│   └── 00-memory-bank.yml
├── rules-debug
│   └── 00-memory-bank.yml
└── rules-test
    └── 00-memory-bank.yml

According to https://docs.roocode.com/features/custom-instructions/ the directory structure is the preferred approach.

I wonder, if we could also place the memory bank itself into the .roo folder.

.roo
├── rules
│   ├── 01-productContext.md
│   ├── 02-activeContext.md
│   ├── 03-progress.md
│   ├── 04-decisionLog.md
│   └── 05-systemPatterns.md
├── rules-architect
│   └── 00-memory-bank.yml
├── rules-ask
│   └── 00-memory-bank.yml
├── rules-boomerang-mode
│   └── 00-memory-bank.yml
├── rules-code
│   └── 00-memory-bank.yml
├── rules-debug
│   └── 00-memory-bank.yml
└── rules-test
    └── 00-memory-bank.yml

This would load the memory bank automatically.
However, it is not clear, if the file names would be visible. This would help to understand, if the memory bank has already been established or not. See https://docs.roocode.com/features/custom-instructions/#how-instructions-are-combined

I'm finding that it's much more simple to just copy the custom instructions into the box in the Roo Code prompt settings. I'll probably revise the readme with those instructions.

ok. And what about this part? Do you think this could help loading the memory bank?
