Have you ever tried to manage a complex project through an AI agent conversation? It goes something like this: you ask the agent to build something, it starts working, then you switch contexts, come back, and the agent has no idea what was happening before.

I ran into this problem constantly. So I built Project Overseer — a file-driven project management system that works across OpenClaw, Claude Code, Codex CLI, Cline, and Gemini CLI.

The Core Problem

AI agents have no persistent memory between sessions. They forget context the moment you switch tasks. Traditional project management tools (Jira, Notion, Linear) are designed for humans, not agents.

The Solution: File-Driven Context Isolation
