I think we’re optimizing for different constraints. If your goal is zero extra round trips and you’re happy with AGENTS.md auto-injection + LSP queries, then I agree LogicStamp won’t be a win on token cost for that setup.

The AGENTS.md comparison isn’t “same thing” - it’s a different layer. AGENTS.md encodes human intent/heuristics. LogicStamp generates semantic ground-truth contracts (exports, APIs, routes) from the AST so they can be diffed and validated mechanically (e.g. CI drift detection).

Git + LSP can diff/query source across commits, but that’s still a query workflow. LogicStamp’s goal is a persistent, versioned semantic artifact. If your workflow already covers that, then it may simply not add value - which is totally fine.

I think none of us know what we are doing with the new toy and are still trying to figure it out lol. So in some sense, there are a lot of ideas being offered, often in many shapes themselves. Just look to the agent sandboxing space

I still have a hard time seeing why I want something like this in my agentic or organic software development. I tried something nearly identical for Go, and having all that extra bookkeeping in context wrecked things, so on an experiential level, the custom DSL for giving the agent an index to the code base hurt overall coding agent performance and effectiveness.

What works far better is having very similar in content, but very curated "table of contents" for the agent. Yes, I also use the same methods to break it down by directory or other variables. But when it reads one of these, the majority is still noise, which is why overall performance degraded and why curation is such a difference maker.

Do you have evaluations for your project that it leads to better overall model capabilities, especially as they compare to a project that already uses AGENTS.md?

btw, I put this stuff in AGENTS.md now, you can put whatever you want in there, for example I auto generate some sections with Go's tooling to have a curated version of what your project does. I don't see it as a "different layer" because it is all context engineering in the end.
