L2 — Persistence

Add the .agents/ directory for cross-session memory.

What You'll Learn

• Creating .agents/ directory structure
• Writing research documents that persist
• Extracting learnings with /retro
• Pattern documentation

Prerequisites

• Completed L1-basics
• Comfortable with /research and /implement

Available Commands

Command	Purpose
/research <topic>	Output now saved to .agents/research/
/implement	Same as L1
/retro [topic]	Extract learnings to .agents/learnings/

Key Concepts

• .agents/ directory: AI memory system
• Research documents: Deep exploration persists
• Learnings: Session insights survive context clear
• Patterns: Reusable solutions accumulate

Directory Structure

Text Only

.agents/
├── research/     # Deep exploration documents
├── learnings/    # Session insights
└── patterns/     # Reusable solutions

What's NOT at This Level

• No issue tracking
• No parallelization
• No /crank (autonomous execution)

Next Level

Once comfortable with persistence, progress to L3-state-management to add issue tracking.
