Agents don't need memory, they need documentation

    Using Opus 5.5, I've ended up recreating a version of the Hugging Face incident. My project has a folder called agent-handoff where agents write about the tasks they're working on. They post status updates, decisions and screenshots, and they even claim which emulator they'll use to test their work. It has turned into a hub where all the agents talk to each other, and it's scarily effective.

    Since then I've gone down the rabbit hole of really digging deep into current AI research and especially what AI whistleblowers are currently saying. And I can't even express how existentially scared shitless I am.

      How do you coordinate their work? Do you just have one orchestrator/mayor that you talk to, and it coordinates the rest, and the rest talk amongst themselves? How do you ensure they're doing the right thing or efficiently?

      How, if at all, do you keep the architecture or a working theory of the code in your head?
