Most consultants do not understand the importance of a leave-behind now that AI is doing most of the coding:

Here is what changed in the last year and why the README or leave-behind playbook and documentation is more important than ever:

1. Code Understanding - AI Agents code faster then humans, but it is still incredibly important that humans understand the work.
2. AI Agent coordination - Multiple developers might have different agentic configurations. A streamlined way to coordinate between those agents requires documentation discipline.
3. Agent Economics - Token costs will balloon without constant vigilance on context information per token. Most AI systems have to read context fresh every time and therefore without constant compression and high information per token costs compound exponentially.

Ultimately, I have organizations save between 30-50% in token costs using my simple framework for context optimization.
