Agents don't need memory, they need documentation

    I thought the agents are mostly self-documenting since they usually write just as much Markdown documentation autonomously as they do code/unit tests, not sure why they would need extra tools here.

      Because of old outdated info that gets left behind, causing confusion for future agents.

        You can tell it to update the docs to be consistent with whatever changed in the code (or whatever is is the authoritative product form). After a while it usually gets with the program and updates the docs automatically. But not always.
