Post #4140348

I thought AI coding agents had a memory problem. The repository had a memory problem! A new agent session, another developer, or a different machine can all open the same codebase. They get the code, tests, and Git history. But they do not automatically inherit the conversations, rejected approaches, incident learnings, or constraints that shaped the implementation. Keep the Why is an agent skill that captures this reasoning as a natural by-product of development. It stores the relevant context as versioned Markdown inside the project, making it directly available to every developer and agent working with the same repository. So the understanding travels with the code - across sessions, developers, agents, and systems. Free and open source. One install command. About two minutes to set up. No runtime dependencies. No MCP server required. https://keepthewhy.com Do you consider a project portable if the code can be cloned, but its reasoning cannot? #OpenSource #AIEngineering
