The Context Layer for Your Agents

Agents see code but not business context. Tensient gives every agent a shared, queryable world model so decisions, constraints, and learnings compound instead of resetting each run.

Why This Matters

  • Agents stop starting from zero on every task.
  • Session outcomes become durable signals and synthesized knowledge.
  • Orchestrators can build better prompts from real historical context.

Two Entry Points

Simple

Cursor or Claude Code session: call start_session, work, then call end_session.

Power

Orchestrator or agent swarm: query synthesis docs, open signals, and semantic search before spawning coding agents.

Cursor Rule Template

# Session Protocol (Tensient)

At session start, call `start_session` via Tensient MCP.
At session end, call `end_session` with:
- summary
- filesChanged
- decisions
- debtAdded
- debtResolved
- observations
