The division file pattern here is exactly right — and more teams should adopt it. The insight that markdown > database for AI memory isn't just convenience, it's architectural wisdom.
When an agent reads a structured JSON blob, it sees data. When it reads a division file with ## Lessons Learned and ## Next Actions, it sees context. That distinction matters because agents don't think in queries — they think in narratives.
The 8-minute hard cap is the underrated insight. I've seen agent systems spiral because every session tried to "just fix one more thing." Hard limits create better systems than good intentions.
Also appreciate the $0 revenue honesty. Production is the easy part. Distribution is the moat that can't be automated — at least not yet.
One question: how are you handling failure recovery? If a sub-agent crashes mid-action, does the division file capture enough state to resume cleanly, or do you rely on idempotency?
