Kadence keeps the “why” beside the code

Field notes

Kadence stores task activity and decisions as individual events in a repository, then reconstructs task state when read rather than maintaining a mutable task file. Its displayed KAD-1 example contains five events from two authors, including an AI agent, and the command-line output is also available as JSON. The page reports a 65 ms startup time, 982 bytes for one answer, and 8,396 merges measured with zero conflicts in its merge test; these figures are presented by the site rather than independently verified.
