I use a lightweight ticket system. Planning creates very detailed tickets with acceptance criteria. Implementation finishes with updating any info relevant to future work on the tickets as comments. The planner searches for previous related work both to avoid past pitfalls but also to get any potentially relevant info into its context. Works well with subagents ramping up quickly.

Cool. Do you find it useful for human review too, or is this mainly about the agents having the right abstractions to work with?

Just for agents. I track bigger picture work items in a normal ticket tracker (Linear, etc.) and the lightweight one (I use kata) is just for coordinating work and memory between agents.
