Summary

This is a crazy fever-dream of a post about alpha software and I recommend waiting a while to see if anything comes of it. But it’s entertaining so I’m posting it.

My agents have switched — without a hint of ever going back — from using markdown plans, to using the issue tracker exclusively. This has granted them unprecedented continuity from session to session. And as a bonus, as you’ll see, when you let them use Beads, you will never again lose discovered work.
