My Agents Left Me 116 Git Repos. So I Built a Source of Truth.
I let agents build software on my Mac for months, and one morning I could not tell one of them where my own project actually lived. This is the eight hours it took to fix that, and the legend that now keeps my agents honest.
A few weeks ago I asked an agent to pick up work on one of my own projects. It opened a fresh terminal, looked around, found nothing it recognized, and built a brand new copy of a project I already had. That was not the agent being careless. Nothing on the machine had ever told it where the real one lived. The only map of my own work was a memory in my head, and a memory does not survive contact with a machine where agents do the building.
