Tip: Briefs as Code — Git-Based Planning Documents as Native Agent Context

paddo.dev·medium signal

paddo.dev proposes 'briefs as code': consolidating scattered planning artifacts (Miro, Confluence, slides) into structured markdown in git, where AI agents synthesize polished HTML briefs from version-controlled sources. Post-edit hooks regenerate outputs and D2 diagrams when source files change. The key insight: your architecture and planning docs ARE your agent context — no separate AGENTS.md needed. Executives consume brief HTML, engineers read workstream READMEs, and agents get full project context from the same repo.
