I see this fitting into my workflow more ephemerally. That, or I will use screenshots in some of my existing documentation so it can all rot in one place.
When using an agent for development, I find that I REALLY miss being able to "see" the shape of the code in my head while I work, and I find that I get bombarded with so much information that I cannot keep track of what the code looks like. This has led to me having to get back to people async on questions they have on a call, etc., because I can't remember exactly how i made something work in the end!
I will be using this to make sure I understand my own output at a depth I can remember, and I will be using it to do the same for reviewing complex PRs or diving into new parts of the codebase.
