Shared context for AI coding agents: the part your agents can't see

Engineering decision intelligence

Your AI agents have most of the inputs they need. They can read the codebase, the tests, the types, the git history, the open PRs. All of that is deterministic and right there.

What they can't see is why. Why the retry count is three and not five. Why this service owns that table. Why the team walked back the obvious approach six weeks ago. That reasoning lives in a Slack thread, a meeting nobody recorded, a Jira comment, or someone's head. The agent never sees it, so it ships code against decisions it doesn't know exist.
