The problem
Goals, constraints and glossary terms get reassembled by each new person, and again by each new agent.
What goes in the repository
- Goals
- Scope
- Constraints
- Decisions
- Glossary
- Architecture
- Stakeholders
- Progress context

Why an open repository helps
One maintained brief is a better start than a pile of meeting notes that only one person attended.
How Okide helps
Okide keeps the brief, decisions and glossary together so a new contributor opens the project instead of reconstructing it.
Humans and agents, same files
People and agents can start from the same maintained brief instead of assembling project context independently.
OPEN BY DEFAULT
Keep the repository. Change the tools around it.
The meeting ends. The project context should still be the same for the next person. Okide helps you work with the repository without turning it into an Okide-only format.
