Dex adds persistent task memory
Dex stores tasks as repo-backed tickets so agents can pick up later without reloading the whole conversation. It’s built for longer-running workflows where context, handoffs, and progress tracking matter more than a single session.
// ANALYSIS
Durable task state is the unsexy part of agent tooling, and Dex is betting that persistence beats bigger context windows for real work.
- –Tasks live in `.dex/` files, so sessions can resume with context preserved in git.
- –The hierarchy and dependencies are tuned for multi-step work, not just lightweight to-do lists.
- –GitHub sync turns agent planning into a shared team artifact instead of disposable scratchpad state.
- –This is most valuable for work that spans days or multiple agents; for quick one-offs, the overhead is probably unnecessary.
