Write the problem hypothesis
For [user], the agent loses or retrieves [information] incorrectly across [scope], causing [wrong action or repeated work].
You can name one user, one situation and one measurable consequence without proposing a feature./add-context writes to global path instead of project-local by default

REPEATED ACROSS 2 PROJECTS
Related friction appears in 2 independent repositories. This is stronger than one backlog item, but still requires direct user validation.
Project strength and demand confidence are measured separately.SOURCE EVIDENCE

Reporter context: Description Ran expecting project intelligence to land in the project repo, but files were written to instead. The flag made no difference since both paths resolve to the same location.

Read the complete thread before interpreting it.
Recruit: Recruit contributors who can replay the problem in a representative repository and development environment.
Guardrail: Use a fixed test case and compare completion, regressions and recovery against the unchanged baseline.
Interview five developers or engineering leads
- Which information must persist?
- For how long and within what scope?
- Show the last wrong or missing recall.
- What data must never cross boundaries?
- How do you correct memory today?
Run the smallest experiment
Test one constrained memory scope with a small real dataset and a written expected-recall benchmark.
The system retrieves the right evidence across repeated sessions without leaking or inventing context.Use a fixed test case and compare completion, regressions and recovery against the unchanged baseline.Make a build decision
- Build: repeated pain and active commitment
- Narrow: pain is real but the audience or job differs
- Stop: weak frequency or no behavioral proof
Why this brief exists
Information has value only when it changes action. This page turns one public signal into a bounded validation exercise. It is a research aid, not proof of demand, investment advice or a product recommendation.
