Developer shares AI coding harness to maintain context across sessions

A developer has created a reusable AI coding harness composed of four Markdown files to maintain context and state across AI coding sessions. This harness, consisting of AGENTS.md, SESSION.md, CHECKLIST.md, and HANDOFF.md, aims to prevent AI coding agents from losing information between interactions. The SESSION.md file is highlighted as crucial for recording changes, findings, issues, and verification steps, ensuring that AI agents retain project-specific knowledge and progress. AI

IMPACT Provides a method for AI coding agents to retain context and state across sessions, improving developer efficiency.
