Using AGENTS.md and a documentation sync loop to give AI agents persistent codebase context

Short summary

The author solved AI agents' statelessness by turning the codebase itself into a living knowledge base. The system uses an AGENTS.md entry point with a document map linking to modular Markdown files in an agent-sitemap/ directory. A four-step Documentation Sync Loop (Detect, Act, Record, Verify) forces agents to update docs in the same turn they make changes, ensuring any new agent can pick up where the last one left off.

• •Created AGENTS.md as single entry point with document map for agent context
• •Split detailed knowledge into modular numbered Markdown files in agent-sitemap/
• •Four-step Documentation Sync Loop forces agents to update docs every turn
