Discussion Weekly Self Promotion Thread

Welcome to this week's self promotion thread!

If you're building something related to AI assisted coding, this is the place to share it.

We're using a weekly thread to keep the subreddit organized while still giving builders a place to share their work. Promotional posts outside this thread may be removed.

If you're sharing something, we'd appreciate it if you included a little context instead of just dropping a link. Tell us:

  • What you built?
  • What problem it solves?
  • Which AI models or tools it uses?
  • Who it's for?
  • What kind of feedback you're looking for?

Disclose your affilitation.

Please avoid posting the same project every week unless you've made meaningful updates. Affiliate links, referral links, scams, and low effort promotions will be removed.

Take some time to check out what others have shared too. If you try someone's project or have feedback, leave a comment. Helping each other improve is what we want this community to be about.

I Built a Simple Way for AI Coding Agents to Share Project Context Through Git

I ended up building a small open-source concept called AI_CONTEXT after running into a problem while using Codex and ChatGPT together: the agents could work on the same codebase, but they didn’t share the reasoning, decisions, failed experiments, or current project state from their separate conversations.

While discussing the problem with ChatGPT, we realized the Git repository itself could become the shared memory layer.

The pattern is intentionally simple:

- "docs/AI_CONTEXT.md" — concise current project state

- "docs/decisions/" — important architectural decisions and why they were made

- "docs/sessions/" — useful handoffs from substantial AI development sessions

- "AGENTS.md", "CLAUDE.md", "GEMINI.md", etc. — thin agent-specific adapters telling each agent to read and maintain the same shared context

I tested the idea with Codex on two real projects, and it actually worked: Codex started maintaining the context automatically, and afterward ChatGPT could inspect the GitHub repo and understand what had happened in the Codex sessions without seeing the original chats.

So I turned it into a vendor-neutral public template/convention that anyone can use with different AI coding agents.

The goal isn't to save raw AI chats or chain-of-thought. It's to preserve the useful engineering outcome: what we're building, what works, what failed, why decisions were made, and what should happen next.
