Think about it. Your AI agent refactors code across 12 files, makes architectural decisions, tries three approaches before settling on one, and fixes a subtle race condition. Then it commits with the message "fix bug" and all that context is gone forever. We'd never accept this from a human developer. Why do we accept it from the tool that's increasingly writing most of our code? AI agents need their own project management I'm not talking about giving Claude a Jira API key. I'm talking about project management that's native to how agents work: plain files, git commits, and context windows. That's what I built. Claude Project Tracker is Jira for AI agents — a .project/ folder you drop into any repo where your AI agent creates its own tickets, documents every decision, maintains a wiki, and closes issues when done. No database. No SaaS. No monthly fee. Just files in git. What it looks like in practice You: "Fix the login timeout bug" Claude Code: → Creates PROJ-1: "Fix login timeout bug"
