tiki

tiki is a simple and lightweight way to keep your tasks, prompts, documents, ideas, scratchpads in your project git repo

Software development and AI assisted development in particular leaves a lot of Markdown files around - project management, documentation, brainstorming ideas, incomplete implementations, AI prompts and plans and what not. Stick them in your repo. Keep around for as long as you need. Find them back in git history. Make tasks out of them and take them through an agile lifecycle

• because they are in git they can be perfectly synced up to the state of your repo or a branch
• you can use either the tiki CLI tool or any of the AI coding assistant to work with your tikis
