Repo-Local Documentation System for Humans & Agents

This GitHub Gist outlines a methodology for creating repo-local Markdown documentation designed to assist both human developers and AI coding agents in understanding codebases and making safer changes. It details specific goals, repository structures, and documentation types such as system and flow documentation to improve context retrieval.

Background

As AI coding assistants become integral to software development, ensuring they have access to high-quality, localized context is crucial for reducing hallucinations and improving code safety. This approach standardizes how project knowledge is stored directly within the repository.
