How to manage planning files made by coding AI
AI tools inside s can quickly create feature plans, draft , and step-by-step notes for complex code changes. This can leave many Markdown files across a project, such as ai-plan.md, _notes.md, and todo.md. These files may be helpful at first, but they can turn into clutter when they stay in the project after the work moves on.
The main choices are to commit useful team-facing files to Git, move longer-term knowledge into tools like Notion or Obsidian, or keep temporary notes out of the with .gitignore. The important decision is to sort each AI-made file as shared , personal , or short-lived scratch work.
