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.
