🧰 Tooling

Disconnected tools scatter the context agents need. Requirements, meeting notes, code, CI logs, and releases should stay linked.

Use one Git platform, such as GitHub or GitLab, for the delivery lifecycle.

Why a single platform matters for AI

1. Traceability: follow the client quote through the issue, plan, code, checks, and release.
2. Native links: connect issues, branches, change requests, previews, and tags without custom synchronization.
3. Consistent access: use shared permissions and audit logs.
4. Simpler context retrieval: use platform APIs rather than many disconnected integrations.

The unified Git stack

Keep issues, branches, change requests, pipelines, environments, and releases together.

Eliminating tool sprawl

Before adding an external tool, record why the platform cannot meet the need and how agents will retain access to its context.
