i'm sorry to say that besides like the first paragraph, this article is mostly ai slop. i thought that we mostly weren't allowing ai written content on hn? (@dang whats the policy here?)

aside from that, i think that this is overcomplicating a more basic idea. You should have agents that leave docs behind in your codebase, and those docs should be localized to the structure of your code, but you do not need any fancy format or manifest.

We've had a lot of success with having the agents write and maintain a docs.md file in each folder, and requiring that they both read and update that file whenever they make a change in that folder
