Mex: open-source project makes markdown context self-maintaining for coding agents
DJIRNMAN · reddit · 2026-09-03
An open-source project called Mex tackles the rotting of markdown context files (CLAUDE.md, runbooks, decision logs) in coding-agent workflows: the agent detects changes, identifies affected records, updates docs, and appends decision logs so project memory stays aligned with the codebase. Open problems include deciding what becomes durable memory, preventing agents from reinforcing wrong assumptions, and resolving code-doc contradictions.
