About Stele

Shared memory for AI coding agents. Claude Code, Cursor and Codex read what your project already decided, so context survives between tools and sessions. Only one of these agents knows this was tried last spring and rolled back. KNOW-142 : a captcha on checkout shipped last spring and was reverted after two weeks.
