This was a fun read.

I’ve similarly been using spec.md and running to-do.md files that capture detailed descriptions of the problems and their scoped history. I mark each of my to-do’s with informational tags: [BUG], [FEAT], etc.

I point the LLM to the exact to-do (or section of to-do’s) with the spec.md in memory and let it work.

This has been working very well for me.





Do you mind linking to example spec/to-do files?

Sure thing. Here is an example set of the agent/spec/to-do files for a hobby project I'm actively working on.

Thanks!

No problem! I’d love to hear any approach you’ve taken as well.

Here is a (3 month old) repo where i did something like that and all the tasks are checked into the linear git history — https://github.com/KnowSeams/KnowSeams
