RAAV vs AGENTS.md / CLAUDE.md
A flat AGENTS.md or CLAUDE.md is also memory. RAAV keeps that file and adds the wedge: a review queue to review, swimlanes to watch, and an audit trail to supervise.
Teams use AGENTS.md or CLAUDE.md as agent memory. A flat file cannot show the founder what changed, who edited it, or whether the result was verified.
AGENTS.md remains the stable rulebook. RAAV handles the volatile state around it: current priorities, claims, branches, proposed decisions, verification, and history. The two solve different problems and work well together.
RAAV keeps AGENTS.md for stable instructions. It adds the changing project record that a flat file cannot maintain reliably.
An AGENTS.md or CLAUDE.md is simple, version-controlled, and readable by every agent. It carries conventions, setup, and operating rules with zero infrastructure.
RAAV does not replace that. It generates and syncs the file so your agents keep reading it.
A file cannot separate confirmed facts from assumptions, show which agent is editing which files, or record whether the last fix passed verification. It changes silently and the founder never sees the diff.
RAAV fills that gap with proposals, ownership claims, and recorded submits.
Proposals hold unsettled product changes. Claims show active ownership. Submits retain the evidence from finished work.
RAAV adds the moving record around the file: proposed changes, active ownership, and completed-run evidence.
RAAV does not replace your coding agent. It gives the agent a durable operating system for product truth, task ownership, and proof.
RAAV generates and syncs your AGENTS.md and CLAUDE.md.
Changes route through a founder review queue.
Swimlanes and claims make parallel work visible.
The audit trail records verification and risk.
Ask your agent to install RAAV. It keeps AGENTS.md for instructions and creates the project record around it.
Install RAAV in this repo. Generate and sync our AGENTS.md and CLAUDE.md, then add a review queue, swimlanes, and audit trail on top of the rules file.The existing rules file stays readable by every agent; RAAV adds the project state it should not carry.
Most tools either write code or track human tickets. RAAV sits between the founder and the coding agents as shared product memory, coordination, and audit.
This page answers the honest question: if AGENTS.md is already memory, why RAAV?
No. RAAV generates and syncs AGENTS.md, then keeps proposed changes, active ownership, and completed-run evidence in separate live records.
No. RAAV keeps your project-specific content and syncs the operating rules across agent files.
No. AGENTS.md tells a coding agent how to behave; RAAV keeps that file and the project state around the agent current.
