Strong disagree on this.

I have Claude/Codex keep logs [1]. It's just prompted in my AGENTS.md [0].

It's incredibly valuable. For example today I started a few sessions off like this:

- What's the status of my work on Renovate?

- I was recently working on X, find that

- Did we fix the issue with backups? What are the next steps?

- This bug came up again. Didn't we fix it already?
