\n\n# Keep the Why\n\nKeep a Changelog records what changed. Keep the Why preserves why it changed.\n\n**Keep the Why** is a repo-native convention and agent skill for preserving the reasoning behind a codebase — architecture decisions, rejected alternatives, workarounds, incident learnings, operational constraints that the code alone can't explain. It captures that reasoning as a byproduct of working with your agent — so it stops re-suggesting rejected approaches, gives better answers, speeds up onboarding, and makes legacy projects tractable again. It works continuously as you develop, or retrospectively on an existing repo.\n\n**The payoff, made concrete","tagline":"Keep the Why: a repo-native convention and agent skill that preserves the reasoning behind a codebase as a byproduct of working with your agent — so it stops re-suggesting rejected approaches, gives better answers, speeds up onboarding, and makes legacy projects tractable again.","category":"coding-agents","tags":["documentation","reasoning","codebase","agent-skill","onboarding"],"author":"oliver-zehentleitner","verified":false,"attribution":{"status":"community_indexed","statusLabel":"Community indexed","shortLabel":"COMMUNITY INDEXED","sourceLabel":"OpenAgentSkill auto-indexer","sourceDetail":"oliver-zehentleitner/keep-the-why","creatorName":"oliver-zehentleitner","creatorUrl":"https://github.com/oliver-zehentleitner","sourceUrl":"https://github.com/oliver-zehentleitner/keep-the-why","indexedBy":"OpenAgentSkill community index","claimUrl":"https://www.openagentskill.com/skills/oliver-zehentleitner-keep-the-why#claim-this-skill","claimCta":"Claim this skill","trustNote":"This listing was indexed from public sources and is not marked official until a maintainer claim is approved.","publicNote":"Attribution links to the public repository or creator profile.
