Agentic projects have a memory problem, so I built a small skill to capture decision context
Summary
The author built a small agent skill to capture decision context during agentic development, addressing the problem of lost context in coding sessions. The skill raw-captures decision-related data to preserve why decisions were made, with plans to later build a processing layer.

Decision-Aware Memory Cards: Counterfactual-Inspired Context Selection and Compression for Tool-Using LLM Agents
Introduces CICL, a decision-aware context layer that selects and compresses evidence for tool-using LLM agents by treating context as a decision-time intervention, using counterfactual-inspired scoring and typed memory cards under a token budget. Experiments on SWE-bench and RepoBench show concrete gains in retrieval accuracy and action criticality.
Thought my Agent was doing fine until i found out its down a rabbit hole , a decision we changed few weeks ago, it was confidently wrong about the decision. So i built a Memory myself, open source tell me what you guys think
The author built NodeDex, an open-source local graph that automatically captures a project's reasoning from agent conversations, helping agents avoid confidently repeating stale decisions by tracking dead-ends and superseded decisions.
