Instead of relying on a growing chat history that degrades over time, each iteration spawns a fresh agent instance that treats the file system and git history as the sole source of truth. This approach enforces convergence toward a persistent goal without hitting context limits. The pattern can be implemented in any environment supporting async API orchestration and state management, with a concrete example using Gemini CLI's hook system and Gemini Flash for fast iterations. A reference implementation is available on GitHub. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
