Context-Driven Development

Treat project context as a managed artifact alongside code. Use structured context documents (product.md, tech-stack.md, workflow.md) to enable consistent AI interactions and team alignment. Essential for projects using AI-assisted development.

What's Inside

• Core philosophy (context precedes code, living documentation, single source of truth, AI alignment)
• The context documents: product.md, tech-stack.md, workflow.md, tracks.md
• Directory structure for context artifacts
• Setup guides for greenfield and brownfield projects
• Maintenance principles and synchronization rules
• Validation checklist
• Anti-patterns (stale context, context sprawl, implicit context, over-specification)
• Session continuity patterns

When to Use

• Setting up new projects with AI-assisted development
• Onboarding team members to existing codebases
• Ensuring consistent AI behavior across sessions
• Documenting decisions that affect code generation
• Managing projects with multiple contributors or AI assistants
