VerifiedLive workspace context engine that loads AGENTS.md for AI agents at session start.
What is Perseus?
Perseus is an open-source live workspace context engine built to support AI agents during coding and development tasks. It focuses on delivering essential project instructions without manual intervention.
The engine works by rendering an AGENTS.md file automatically whenever a new agent session begins. This provides immediate access to workspace-specific guidance across supported platforms.
It is intended for developers and teams who rely on AI coding assistants and want reliable context handling in tools like Claude Code, Codex, and Hermes.
