What context-driven-development does

context-driven-development stores project context in conductor/ through product.md, tech-stack.md, workflow.md, and tracks.md. It scaffolds a project from scratch, extracts context from an existing codebase, and prepares the documents before implementation.

The skill reads relevant artifacts before work starts and keeps changes incremental. It checks the documents for consistency, links implementation decisions to context, and tracks updates with the code through git.

Install it when AI sessions need shared project context or when you are joining an existing codebase. It is a poor fit for a one-off task with no project documents.

What it helps with

  • scaffold a new project context
  • describe the product and tech stack
  • extract context from an existing codebase
  • validate artifacts before implementation
  • track work units in tracks.md

Example prompts for the agent

  • Create the project context in `conductor/` and fill in the relevant artifacts.
  • Extract context from this codebase, validate the artifacts, and prepare `tracks.md`.
  • Update `tech-stack.md` and `workflow.md` after the architecture change.

# Context-Driven Development

Guide for implementing and maintaining context as a managed artifact alongside code, enabling consistent AI interactions and team alignment through structured project documentation.

## When to Use This Skill

- Setting up new projects with Conductor
- Understanding the relationship between context artifacts
- Maintaining consistency across AI-assisted development sessions
- Onboarding team members to an existing Conductor project
- Deciding when to update context documents
- Managing greenfield vs brownfield project contexts

## Detailed patterns and worked examples

Detailed pattern documentation lives in `references/details.md`. Read that file when the navigation tier above is insufficient.

## Best Practices

1. **Read context first**: Always read relevant artifacts before starting work
2. **Small updates**: Make incremental context changes, not massive rewrites
3. **Link decisions**: Reference context when making implementation choices
4. **Version context**: Commit context changes alongside code changes
5. **Review context**: Include context artifact reviews in code reviews
6. **Validate regularly**: Run context validation checklist before major work
7. **Communicate changes**: Notify team when context artifacts change significantly
8. **Preserve history**: Use git to track context evolution over time
9. **Question staleness**: If context feels wrong, investigate and update
10. **Keep it actionable**: Every context item should inform a decision or behavior
