alt Hacker News> It globs your filesystem and re-reads AGENTS.md (injected in turn-0 system prompt) on every SSE turn. If you put a quick note in AGENTS.md to be read in the next session, you immediately force a full re-evaluation.
Um. Which then gets immediately cached again.
I prefer this behavior. I prefer my changes incorporated immediately, rather than wait for the next session. Call me crazy.

Also, aren't instructions earlier in the prompt treated with more weight than those that occur much later? Sure, you could insert the system prompt later to avoid re-caching as much, but then the system prompt (if I am understanding correctly) carries MUCH less weight.
(And also your point about immediately being re-cached a good one)
I also would want anything that I saved into AGENTS.md to be incorporated right after I saved it.
I might accept if my newly saved information was overlooked, but it's hard for me to fathom how I'd demand "I want to save this information in AGENTS.md now, but I don't want you to look at it until the next time I launch you..." and call any behavior other than that annoying or alarming.
