My AI agent tried to ship a mistake we'd already reverted

Short summary

An AI agent attempted to re-implement a feature that had been reverted for PCI-DSS compliance, lacking memory of the reasoning behind the original decision. A developer built Selvedge, an MCP server that captures agent reasoning in real-time via CLAUDE.md integration, letting future sessions understand why past decisions were made. The tool stores reasoning as agent-written text (not AI-guessed explanations) in SQLite, with CLI access and open Agent Trace format export.

• •Agents lack memory of past reasoning between sessions, causing re-implementation of reverted decisions
• •Selvedge is an MCP server that captures agent reasoning in real-time during code sessions
• •Open-source tool stores reasoning in SQLite with CLI and Agent Trace format export; integrates via CLAUDE.md
