About IWE (iwe.md)

Your notes are your agent’s memory. IWE is where you work on them together. Too many AI conversations start from zero. You explain your project, your decisions, your reasoning — then find yourself explaining it all again next session. Your own notes live somewhere else, out of the agent's reach.
