SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Dex solves the challenge of coordinating multi-step work across sessions by storing tasks and decisions in a persistent memory system, enabling backlogs and long-term context preservation for AI agents.

Core Features & Use Cases

Persistence: Tasks survive beyond the current session as files in the repository, enabling continuity.
Context Preservation: Decisions, progress, and rationale are captured for handoffs and audits.
Hierarchy: 3-level structure (Epic → Task → Subtask) to organize work.
Dependencies & Blocking: Tasks can block others and reflect real-world workflows.
GitHub/Shortcut Sync: Optional synchronization to Issues/Stories for permanent records.

Quick Start

Create an epic and break it into tasks and subtasks, then rely on Dex to persist context across sessions.

FAQPage Schema

How do I maintain persistent task memory for an AI agent across multiple sessions?▼

Persistent task memory for AI agents is maintained by storing tasks and decisions as repository files, ensuring context and progress survive beyond the current session for continuous coordination.

Can I sync my AI agent's backlog with GitHub Issues?▼

Yes, you can optionally sync your backlog with GitHub Issues. This synchronization creates a permanent record of your tasks and development workflow directly within your GitHub repositories.

How do I organize complex multi-step work using a task hierarchy?▼

You can organize complex multi-step work using a 3-level hierarchy consisting of Epics, Tasks, and Subtasks, allowing you to break down large projects while preserving context and dependencies.

What is the best way to preserve context and decisions for cross-session task handoffs?▼

The best way to preserve context for cross-session task handoffs is by capturing decisions, progress, and rationale in a persistent memory system that stores project files with optional GitHub or Shortcut sync.

Does task management with repository file storage support dependencies and blocking?▼

Yes, repository file storage for task management supports dependencies and blocking. Tasks can block others, reflecting real-world workflows and ensuring complex multi-step work is coordinated accurately.
