I created an AMAZING MODE called "RIPER-5 Mode" Fixes Claude 3.7 Drastically!

hey…thanks a lot for these rules. I’ve tried the riper mode based on your update on github. But I’ve got issues like update the state.mdc. The file wasn’t updated after running progress and the wrong date and time created and updated on the bank-memory files (I think it’ll be affect to update progress).
I’ve done the following things:

  1. Modified vs code configuration like in this showcase Vibe Coding Disrupted in Cursor v0.47.8? Here’s the Fix!.
  2. Searched about strict update state.mdc and current date in your rules but didn’t find it.
  3. Tried to directly change with the agent.
    All of these things haven’t unsuccessfully. I don’t know why it isn’t running properly for me.

Do you have suggestions for this issue?

On the other hand, I’ve also tried to modify the model in core.mdc file to run with Gemini 2.5 model but while creating the project brief agent doesn’t ask for requirements gathering like key questions based on the start phase rules (I’m curious about that model as told by @robotlovehuman). Besides that, please add MCP rules for these amazing riper rules.
