Hey you can try it if you like. That's one of the beauties of the current moment, nobody REALLY knows what works best, just a whole lot of people trying stuff

And no, I wouldn't ever give it a year of changelog.md. I give it a short description of the current functionality, and a well-trimmed list of 'lessons-learned' (specific pitfalls/traps from previous work, so the AI doesn't have to repeat them)

If you think git logs are a good way to give context, try it and and see how it works! My instinct's that it won't work as well as a short readme, but I could be wrong. It's so easy to prototype these days, no reason to not give it a shot

"a short description of the current functionality, and a well-trimmed list of 'lessons-learned'"

Where does that come from?

"And no, I wouldn't ever give it a year of changelog.md."

No, instead you'll "[run] your git history through a cheap model". Except it's "overkill and error prone". So you're writing it up yourself? You didn't do the work, how do you know what the pitfalls and traps are?
