Literally every single CLI-based Agent will show you a suggestion to run /init at startup.

And of course it's up to the developer to keep the documentation up to date. Just like when working with humans. Stuff don't magically document itself.

Yes "good code is self-documenting", but it still takes ages to find anything without docs to tell you the approximate direction.

It's literally a text file the agent can create and update itself. Not hard. Try it.

Humans actually learn from codebases they work with. They don't start with a clean slate every time they wake up in the morning. They know where to find information and how to search for them. They don't need someone to constantly update docs to point to changes.

Which humans, unsurprisingly, can do without wiping their memory every time.
