Your agent writes down why, in the repo, so everyone else's agents can find it without asking you. - evansjp/grepathy

Original Text

hey HN - Claude pre-created users in Clerk with null emails/names as "guest users" on a contract job. Wasn't in any plan. The CTO asked why, and I didn't know! I didn't make that decision!

The reasoning was in a transcript on my laptop. Claude Code deletes those after 30 days by default. Two of my projects lost their whole history that way.

Grepathy distills transcripts locally into markdown committed with the code. Decisions only, never your messages, no server.

List every decision nobody approved:

  grep -rn "agent-initiated" .ai/why/
Ran a blind eval before shipping, published it including the misses (REPORT.md). Agents with Grepathy answered the "why" questions right. Baseline agents made up confident wrong answers.
