Bug Report: Memory-Bank Files Not Automatically Loaded in Context

Environment

  • Amazon Q Version: 1.81.0.0
  • IDE: Visual Studio Code / Visual Studio
  • OS: Windows

Issue Description

Memory-bank files created through the Amazon Q chat rules menu are not automatically included in the chat context, despite being stored in the expected .amazonq\rules\memory-bank\ directory.

Expected Behavior

Files in .amazonq\rules\memory-bank\ should be automatically loaded into chat context similar to other rule files in .amazonq\rules\.

Actual Behavior

Memory-bank files are created and stored correctly but are not included in the chat context. The AI assistant cannot access this information without manually reading the files.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Create memory-bank entries through Amazon Q chat rules menu
  2. Verify files are created in .amazonq\rules\memory-bank\
  3. Start new chat session
  4. Ask AI about project-specific information that should be in memory-bank
  5. Observe that AI doesn't have access to memory-bank content

Impact

Memory-bank functionality is effectively broken, reducing the value of the rules system for maintaining project context.
