# OpenWiki treats repository documentation as agent memory

## Observation

OpenWiki generates and refreshes a structured codebase explanation that other agents and humans can inspect before acting.

## Why it matters

A maintained repository map can reduce repeated exploration while keeping the memory legible, versioned, and reviewable outside any one agent session.

## Provenance

Normalized from QWG AI Telegram message 2631. The original Russian-language record remains available at https://t.me/qwgai/2631.
