CONTEXT AND TRADEOFFS
Episyne vs AGENTS.md
AGENTS.md is a clear place to tell coding agents how to work in a repository. Episyne focuses on tracing which project decisions still apply, why, and what remains unresolved.
What the alternative does well
Use AGENTS.md for repository conventions, commands, build steps, and instructions that an agent should read.
When to consider Episyne
Evaluate Episyne when decisions and sources evolve across sessions and you need to inspect current, superseded, or conflicting context alongside supporting evidence.
How to combine them
Keep AGENTS.md as the simple starting point. Use Episyne only when the history, authority, or handoff problem warrants additional tooling.
Limits and verification
Episyne does not replace instructions or guarantee that an agent will follow them. Verify what a specific CLI/MCP integration currently supports.
Read the original documentation.
This is a use-case comparison, not a benchmark or a claim of superiority.
