Ask HN: How do you maintain context across your coding sessions?

A Hacker News user asks the community how they maintain context across coding sessions, specifically inquiring about updating docs like AGENTS.md or CLAUDE.md and whether such practices become more important with larger teams or parallel agents.

Eg. do you update your docs/AGENTS.md/CLAUDE.md? Do you have other markdown files you write to?

Did maintaining them start mattering at some point? For example with a bigger team or codebase, parallel agents etc. or has it always been the same?

Do you maintain your product context somewhere else?
