NOW.md: The Shared Session for Disconnected AI Agents

Описание и применение

NOW.md используется как общий регистр состояния для изолированных AI‑агентов, позволяя им читать и писать директивы, тем самым уменьшая дублирование задач и сохраняя контекст после перезапусков.

Задача

AI agents run in isolated processes and cannot directly communicate, leading to fragmented state and duplicated work.

Результат

Agents coordinate via a human-readable text file, reducing duplicated work and maintaining operational context across frequent restarts.

Рабочий процесс

• 1. Agents start or restart and read NOW.md to understand current state.
• 2. Agents perform tasks and append notes or directives to NOW.md.
• 3. Human operators or scripts update NOW.md after task completion or operational shifts.
• 4. Agents re-read NOW.md before significant actions to avoid conflicts.
• 5. Version control (Git) tracks changes to NOW.md for audit and debugging.
