New idea I’m exploring: intent logs for AI agents. “Stitches” add intentions alongside git commits so you can trace code back to the goal behind it. I think we need a new primitive (beyond stacked diffs/commit messages) for this new way of coding. 🔗: github.com/captainsafia/s…

This feels very right, particularly at a consumer level. On a commercial level, it feels directionally right if more complex.
