Project Continuity

Your agent forgets.
Your project shouldn't.

Install Agnir once. In a fresh session, say “continue” and a compatible Agent can read the Project's current state, next actions, decisions, and evidence — then keep going.

No Agent lock-in No private-chat dependency Doesn't take over your workflow

Install first

One sentence to get started.

Copy the prompt below and paste it into your Agent.

Install and initialize Agnir for this Project: https://github.com/iorLab/agnir

Install it now. Next time you open a fresh session, say “continue” — the difference is immediate.

How to use it

Four steps. That's it.

Agnir doesn't add daily overhead. Express a “” intent and it will leave a recoverable Checkpoint.

01

Install

Give your Agent the one-line install intent above.

02

Work normally

Build, debug, review, commit, or refactor as usual. Agnir does not replace your development workflow.

03

Checkpoint

At a meaningful stopping point, express a “” intent. Agnir will save the current Project state for recovery.

04

Continue in a fresh session

Open a fresh session and say “continue”. The Agent reloads Agnir from the Project and resumes from the last Checkpoint.

Remove the doubts

What Agnir does not ask you to give up.

Will this lock me to one Agent?

No. Agnir is designed so Project continuity does not belong to one Agent, model, chat, or execution surface.

Do I need to preserve every chat?

No. Agnir keeps the small set of Project facts that actually need to survive, instead of treating chat history as the source of truth.

Will it take over Git, my IDE, or my workflow?

No. Your tools keep doing their jobs. Agnir only defines how durable Project continuity is discovered, loaded, and checkpointed.

Is this another opaque memory database?

No. Next actions, decisions, and evidence stay in the Project as readable Markdown files.

The concept, after the value

So what is Agnir?

Agnir is a Project Continuity protocol: a portable contract for keeping the small amount of durable Project truth a fresh Agent needs to continue safely.

01

Current State

What is durably true now.

02

Next Actions

What should happen next, in order.

03

Decisions

Constraints and choices future Agents must preserve.

04

Evidence

Receipts that make recovery, review, migration, and reconciliation trustworthy.

Portable by design

Switch Agents, not Projects.

Agnir Core is neutral about Git, GitHub, filesystems, ChatGPT, specific Agents, Skills, and storage engines. Those belong around the Project Continuity contract, not inside it.
