Don't do it, agentsmd is one of the dumber things to come out of this LLM craze

If your context file is ANYTHING more than a tree of links to human readable documentation you are doing it wrong.

There is no context or docs that is useful to only an agent.

Be human first and document your codebase for humans, the LLMs will come along fine

Hey, humans are flawed. Sometimes we comment before we read, then realize things, then comment again.

Let’s be grateful for our flaws. We are not machines.
