Context Directory

This directory contains project context documentation that provides comprehensive information about the current state, structure, and direction of your project. The context files serve as a knowledge base for AI agents and team members to quickly understand and contribute to the project.

Purpose

The context system enables:

• Fast Agent Onboarding: New AI agents can quickly understand the project through standardized documentation
• Project Continuity: Maintain knowledge across development sessions and team changes
• Consistent Understanding: Ensure all contributors have access to the same project information
• Living Documentation: Keep project knowledge current and actionable

Core Context Files

When fully initialized, this directory contains:

Project Foundation

• project-brief.md - Project scope, goals, and key objectives
• project-vision.md - Long-term vision and strategic direction
• project-overview.md - High-level summary of features and capabilities
• progress.md - Current project status, completed work, and immediate next steps

Technical Context

• tech-context.md - Dependencies, technologies, and development tools
• project-structure.md - Directory structure and file organization
• system-patterns.md - Architectural patterns and design decisions
• project-style-guide.md - Coding standards, conventions, and style preferences

Product Context

• product-context.md - Product requirements, target users, and core functionality

Context Commands

Use these commands to manage your project context:

Initialize Context

/context:create

Analyzes your project and creates initial context documentation. Use this when:

• Starting a new project
• Adding context to an existing project
• Major project restructuring

Load Context

/context:prime

Loads all context information for a new agent session. Use this when:

• Starting a new development session
• Onboarding a new team member
• Getting up to speed on project status

Update Context

/context:update

Updates context documentation to reflect current project state. Use this:

• At the end of development sessions
• After completing major features
• When project direction changes
• After architectural changes

Context Workflow

1. Project Start: Run /context:create to establish baseline documentation
2. Session Start: Run /context:prime to load current context
3. Development: Work on your project with full context awareness
4. Session End: Run /context:update to capture changes and progress

Benefits

• Reduced Onboarding Time: New contributors understand the project quickly
• Maintained Project Memory: Nothing gets lost between sessions
• Consistent Architecture: Decisions are documented and followed
• Clear Progress Tracking: Always know what's been done and what's next
• Enhanced AI Collaboration: AI agents have full project understanding

Best Practices

• Keep Current: Update context regularly, especially after major changes
• Be Concise: Focus on essential information that helps understanding
• Stay Consistent: Follow established formats and structures
• Document Decisions: Capture architectural and design decisions
• Track Progress: Maintain accurate status and next steps

Integration

The context system integrates with:

• Project Management: Links with PRDs, epics, and task tracking
• Development Workflow: Supports continuous development sessions
• Documentation: Complements existing project documentation
• Team Collaboration: Provides shared understanding across contributors

Start with /context:create to initialize your project's knowledge base!
