Aleena Is an Alignment Agent That Preserves Decision Rationale Across Slack, Meetings, and PRs

arXiv·medium signal

Research-software decisions surface in a Slack thread, get refined in a meeting, and land in a pull request — losing their original rationale along the way and leaving collaborators with divergent mental models of intent and ownership. Aleena frames alignment as a continuous lifecycle problem and uses an agent to track decisions and rationale across these fragmented artifacts. Speaks directly to the 'why did we build it this way' knowledge-loss problem in fast-moving solo and small-team projects.
