Build with Intent
The system of record for human decisions in software. Capture the why behind every change — from agent prompts to team discussions — versioned in your repo.
Works with Cursor · Copilot · Claude Code · Codex · Gemini
The problem
Software moves faster than teams can keep up.
Agents have made execution cheap. Code appears instantly.
But the reason the code exists still lives in places that don't scale: chat logs, meetings, scattered docs, people's heads.
As speed increases, that critical context disappears faster.
Intent fixes that gap.
The Solution
Decisions that compound over time.

Without Intent
- 1.Agent suggests JWT — you explain OAuth requirement
- 2.Next session, agent suggests JWT again
- 3.You re-explain the security constraints
- 4.Agent hallucinates a "decision" that never happened
Result
Every session starts from scratch. Context resets daily.
With Intent
First session: decide OAuth over JWT, Intent captures why
Decision syncs to project repo automatically
Next session: agent reads intent/, understands constraints
Agent proposes changes that respect existing decisions
Result
Agents build on real history. Context compounds over time.
How Intent works
AgentsHumans
Capture intent from the tools you use. Align in real time. Store it with the project. Replay when it matters.
