Hi Guys, like many of you I work with AI agents every day and across several clients. The major time cost for me is to re-explaining context and past decisions, client rules, that we already do. To finish every tools as its own memory. So I’m curious how you actually handle this: 1. When you start a new session, how do you give context to the agent (context came from chat, mail, ticket ...) ? 2. Do you use more than one agent type (claude, codex ...) ? And if yes, how do you carry context…

Matt Pocock's skills library^1 is the basis for my approach. 1. https://github.com/mattpocock/skills/blob/main/README.md
Gitea wiki. Tell it to reference previous projects if applicable, standard setup principals etc.
Spec driven design helps, OpenSpec/Git SDD Kit/ GitShipDone helps with the previous decision problems and design context. Most of these live in the project repos so they won’t pollute each other
