    Permanent docs definitely belong in git. This is just the desk scratchpad for messy session context so you can /clear freely without cluttering commit history or burning tool calls…

    Thanks! And I totally agree with your workflow, fresh sessions are the best way to avoid context degradation. Just to clarify on the decision summaries - I actually don't let agent…

    No, I am not an LLM. I do use LLMs to help draft replies as I am a busy person living in the real world. Really glad you like the provenance feature tracking which agent (or human)…

    Hi HN, I built engrim to establish a local-first, open standard for cross-model AI agent memory. As context windows scale past 1M+ tokens, developers face rapid attention dilution:…
