Status

Working extension

Problem

AI coding sessions lose useful project context, decisions, tasks, and local workflow state across edits.

Solution

A VS Code extension that captures local engineering context and exposes it as a clearer bridge between the editor, state, and AI-assisted work.

Result / Outcome

A practical devtool build that shows product thinking around how engineers actually work with AI inside an editor.
