Problems show up when a complex task gradually loses its original priority after several rounds of steering, compaction, or get handed over into new sessions.</p> <p>I'm curious whether other people experience this too. How do you currently keep a long-running coding task coherent, even across multiple agent sessions?</p> <p>In my own workflow, I now use a tool that I built for myself to solve this issue and it works surprisingly well! It's now at a stage where I am ready to accept private alpha testing. Feel free to DM me to get an invitation code! </p> ai vibecoding
