Agent context & exploration

This section contains internal project knowledge useful for contributors and AI coding assistants. It includes design decisions, prior art, open questions, and an exploration log.

Unlike the rest of the docs, this section is written for contributors and AI agents rather than end users. It provides the “why” behind design choices and captures institutional knowledge that would otherwise be lost between sessions.

If you’re an AI coding assistant working on this project, start here to understand context that isn’t obvious from the code alone. The .claude/ folder in the repo contains source versions of these documents with agent-specific instructions.

Key reading order for a fresh session:

  1. Vision — what problem this solves
  2. Decisions — what’s already been decided and why
  3. Open questions — what’s still up for debate
  4. Exploration log — recent session history
