The key insight is that agents need the same context a new teammate would need on day one. These documents serve dual purpose: they help human engineers and AI agents alike, eliminating the need for separate prompt scaffolding. The approach offers session continuity, team visibility, and composability, but requires ongoing maintenance to stay effective. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
