Agents don't need memory, they need documentation
This is one of the things I REALLY don't get.
If you got the LLM to generate the docs, they don't need the docs.

Think of the docs as a cache. You're saving tokens by starting with a map of the code. Why try to figure it out each time?

I'm arguing that the people doing this THINK it's saving tokens. I don't think it is. I've been seeing faster and more efficient use of the LLM by removing a lot of the documentation.
