About Keep the Why

Keep the Why records the reasoning code cannot explain — decisions, the alternatives that lost, workarounds, constraints — as plain Markdown in the repository, next to the code and versioned with it. A coding agent writes it as the reasons come up and any agent or person reads it back, so a settled question is not reopened and an abandoned change is not tried again.
