Telos – A structured context framework for humans and AI agents

Hacker News

Telos is a structured intent and decision tracking layer that works alongside Git. It doesn't replace Git — it captures the why behind code changes in a queryable, machine-readable format. Git tracks what changed in your code. Telos tracks what you intended, what constraints you set, and what decisions you made and why. Every intent, decision, and behavioral expectation is stored as a content-addressable object (SHA-256), forming a DAG that mirrors your development history. Telos is designed for both human developers and AI agents. Its --json output mode and context command make it a natural integration point for LLM-powered coding assistants that need to recover project context across sessions.
