I now believe we live in a simulation
I put them in Confluence in the past but they were not really used in the same way as they are now with coding agents. Confluence wasn't great for design docs in the first place but now it's too much of a hassle moving those docs in and out of the ide If they are added to .gitignore then that rules out collaboration with other devs, right ?

Ask HN: How do you manage docs for AI coding agents without bloating repos?

I'm struggling with a seemingly simple problem. Every time I work with a coding agent, I like to iterate with the model on a plan first which would be in plan.md. There are often other md files also like specs, tasks, requirements, etc. I'm curious what do people do once done with the task they were created for? Leaving them in the repository makes it very bloated very soon. Often I end up with...

what about for plan.md, does everyone just trash the plan once the development is done ? Sometimes the final generated plans (created after iterating with the model on it) are as good as design documents and can be useful for future enhancements, so trashing them doesn't feel right, whereas checking them in seems like too many non code related files in every directory

Good Point , I like the website you shared too, may be I too should load more content upfront

thanks for the feedback, for recruiters : what if there is an option where someone could post url of the job description and my agent would tell whether I have the required skills and also importantly whether I would be interested in talking about that opportunity?

For the POC I just gave it a markdown of my resume, but idea is to give it a lot more data about me and then let it serve everything. And also handle tasks dynamically like schedule meetings, etc

The common theme here is liberating small, trusted, and talented teams from normal constraints to pursue a singular, urgent goal.
I can't get it to do anything, it just gives me some python code for everything I ask it to do. They probably need to add more documentation
