Your context shouldn't live only on someone else's machine

Описание и применение

Управление контекстом при работе с несколькими терминальными агентами стало проще благодаря udctl – самодостаточному рабочему столу, который хранит все конвенции и задачи в одном месте, позволяя агентам читать и писать напрямую, а ежедневные записи автоматически архивируются.

Задача

When using multiple terminal agents, context and conventions are scattered across session logs, scratch files, and vendor databases, leading to duplicated effort, unclear ownership, and loss of work when switching machines.

Результат

By centralizing context in udctl, the user eliminates duplicate conventions, retains all work across machines, and reduces repeated effort. Daily entries are systematically archived, ensuring long‑term memory without data loss.

Рабочий процесс

• 1. Install udctl on your machine.
• 2. Configure udctl to manage your agents (register agents, define skills).
• 3. Store conventions and context as markdown files in udctl’s library (e.g., a skill called code-reviewer).
• 4. Run agents; they read/write to the shared library via udctl commands.
• 5. Set up a daily gather job that archives daily entries into month cards and compacts them.
• 6. Access all cards and files through the virtual path tree exposed by udctl.
• 7. When switching machines, copy the udctl library to the new machine to retain context.

Доказательства

udctl in one line: a self-hosted workbench that runs on your own machine. People and agents share one copy of the data and read the same bytes.

One container holds it, any agent can read it, it gathers once a day, it settles into long-term memory, and it lands in a directory tree you can open.
