    Markdown is non deterministic when it comes to piping it through an LLM. Sure the prompt intent is the same, but it doesn't guarantee the same output.

    I would much rather have significantly more detailed comments inline with code to describe the intention at any given step than just a high level markdown file. We already have PDRs and markdown seems like it would just be an extension of that.

      Exactly!

      Source code main attribute should be reproducable builds...

      Same source gives the same output.

        Giving the same PDRs, docs, tickets, etc to humans will never give deterministic output, I'm willing to accept the same from my agents

          Would you be willing to have the same agents operate on your kid ?
