I built a .txt file that gives AI assistants persistent memory — $49 on Gumroad, zero sales, looking for feedback

I've been using Claude and ChatGPT daily for about a year — managing projects, making decisions, tracking finances, running an options strategy. The problem everyone knows: every new chat starts from zero.

So I built something for myself: a single text file that functions as an operating system for AI assistants. Upload it at the start of a chat and your AI stops starting over.

What it is: ContinuityFile — a ~25,000-word .txt file with 11 modular systems. Identity & role definition, decision guardrails with approval workflows, daily anchor loops, a solvency-first finance framework, behavioral protocol decision trees, and an options trading engine validated on 13,000+ simulation paths.

It's not a prompt template. It's a structured system with governance rules, execution surfaces, and a patch protocol so the file evolves with you.

Why a text file: Portability. Works with ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Llama — anything that accepts uploads. No API, no plugin, no vendor lock-in. And you can read every rule the AI is working with. No black-box memory features.

Current state:

• v2.30, ~161 KB, 3,500+ lines
• $49 on Gumroad (early-adopter price, down from $99)
• Lifetime updates included — one purchase, every future version
• Zero sales so far. The only marketing was one LinkedIn post months ago.

I'm being transparent about that last point because I think the product is solid but the distribution is nonexistent. I use the personal edition daily. The commercial version is a cleaned-up, generalized edition anyone can customize.

What I'm looking for: Honest feedback. Is the value proposition clear? Is $49 the right price for a text file (even one this deep)? Would a free excerpt or trial module change the conversion math?

I made this — happy to answer questions about any of the modules or the architecture behind it.
