Solving Agent Amnesia: 28+ Principles for Building Stateful AI
The winners in 2026 won't have the best models. They'll have the best agent systems that don't forget the rules.
Why do even the most powerful AI coding agents seem to “forget” your critical instructions halfway through a complex task?
You’ve felt the frustration: your flow state shatters as you’re forced to manually restart chats and re-feed context just to keep the project on track.
This constant “context rot” is the single biggest bottleneck in AI development, but it isn’t a failure of model intelligence. It’s a failure of the rigid systems we use.
What if you could run an entire feature, from the first plan to the final shipped code, in one continuous session without the agent ever losing the plot?
The solution isn’t a bigger context window; it’s…
