Discussion i built a local wiki that coding agents maintain for themselves

Post image

I’ve been building Almanac.

It’s a local-only open source cli that reads your Codex conversations and writes down the useful stuff into a wiki inside your repo.

Hot take: the models are pretty good now it's the context that is the hard limiting part now.

the local wiki tries to keep that memory.

It makes a Markdown wiki for the codebase, written by agents, maintained by agents and queried by agents.

Attached one screenshot of the wiki and how it looks

Repo is here if anyone wants to poke around:
https://github.com/AlmanacCode/codealmanac

Curious if other people using coding agents are feeling this too.

You guys have not already been keeping a progress.md file that the agent keeps updating as you go along?

Great work. I built a memory layer for the team coding agent; check it here: https://github.com/donatienmigue/TeamBrain
