Your coding agent is great at building. It's bad at remembering why. A codebase records what the software is, never why. That context decays, and every new session starts from zero. Stele is a shared, self-maintaining ledger of the why. It holds the decisions and tradeoffs behind the code, and every agent reads and writes it, across Claude Code, Cursor, Codex and more. So your agent helps you steer, not just type.
A "stele" is a stone slab the ancients used to record decisions meant to outlast the people who made them. That's the whole idea.
I kept watching agent-facing docs rot. In a big codebase the markdown piles up, goes stale, and nothing tells an agent which parts are still true. So it re-asks what we'd already settled, or confidently acts on something we abandoned months ago. The code says what the software is. Almost nothing records why.
Here's the moment it clicked. An agent was about to delete a chunk of code that looked safe to remove. Weeks earlier we'd learned it was load-bearing, and we'd written down why. The instant the agent touched that file, Stele put the note back in front of it, and it stopped before undoing the fix. Nobody had to remember. The project remembered for us.
So Stele is a shared, self-maintaining ledger: knowledge and tasks in one graph that every agent and teammate reads and writes. It flags stale facts, retires reversed decisions, and surfaces the right past decision the moment you touch the related code. Whatever agent you use.
What surprised me most: two of my agents, one in the cloud and one local with no shared chat or filesystem, recently ran a full design handoff just by commenting on each other's tasks in Stele. That's where this is headed: agents and teammates building from one shared memory instead of starting over each session.
We build Stele with Stele, so it's had a real stress test. It's early and I'd love your brutal feedback. Especially: when did an agent forget something it really should have remembered?

A "decision diff" view would be super helpful, basically showing how the reasoning behind a file has evolved alongside the code diffs in PRs. That way reviewers can see not just what changed, but why the team's thinking shifted, which is usually where the most important context lives.
One thing I'd love to see is a way to flag or version decisions when they get overridden, so the old "why" stays visible alongside the new reasoning. Right now if an agent reverses a prior call I worry that context just disappears into the next session.
