Creator of lat.md here. There are two videos with me talking about lat in more detail [1] and less detail [2]. But I'm also working on a blog post exploring lat and its potential, stay tuned.

AMA :)

What does lat.md do better than a docs/ or specs/ directory you manage yourself?

- makes agent manage it for you in a controlled way

- gives agent tools to search and traverse the graph, better than they can with grep

- ability to have semantic links into your code and back

etc, see the README

		I read the README and it wasn't clear what the material benefits of these features were over e.g. having the agent write an organize markdown files with guidance, incorporating README.md with indexes/ToCs that act as lookup tables, linking to code with relative filepath links and incorporating descriptions or additional context where needed. Not trying to poopoo your project or be dismissive, just curious whether I'm missing something.
