agent-context

You can preserve project context across coding sessions by maintaining a persistent AGENTS.md knowledge base and a private .agents.local.md scratchpad, ensuring that learning from one session continuously influences subsequent work.

The best way to bootstrap persistent context is running the agent-context init command, which sets up a Markdown knowledge base to store patterns, conventions, and decisions for rapid agent onboarding and safer automation.

No external dependencies or databases are required. The persistent context tool stores all project knowledge offline in self-contained Markdown files that are shipped directly within the repository.

You manage context lifecycle through automated init, compression, and promotion steps that maintain concise, relevant Markdown context, preventing knowledge files from becoming bloated over multiple coding sessions.

Yes, you can use Markdown files to store offline knowledge. The tool loads Markdown as context and supports optional directories for scripts, references, and assets directly within your repository.

You need persistent project context when running automated coding workflows where agents must remember patterns, conventions, and decisions between runs, enabling rapid onboarding and safer automation for new software projects.
