project-context-management

name	project-context-management
description	Manages AI agent context for software projects. Use when agents need project guidelines, contracts, patterns, documentation, or session focus. Triggers on mentions of: project context, guidelines, contracts, patterns, documentation, session, checkpoint.

Project Context Management Skill

Quick Start

Initialize context at conversation start:

// 1. Identify project
identify_context({ file_path: "current/working/path" })

// 2. Load guidelines
get_merged_guidelines({ context: "backend" })

// 3. Start session
start_session({ context: "backend", current_focus: "task description" })

Core Operations

Session Management: See SESSION-WORKFLOW.md Contract Validation: See CONTRACT-REFERENCE.md
Documentation: See DOCUMENTATION-WORKFLOW.md Patterns: See PATTERNS-REFERENCE.md

Tool Quick Reference

Operation	Tool	When
Start work	identify_context + start_session	Every conversation
Load rules	get_merged_guidelines	Before coding
Check contracts	get_contracts	Before implementing interfaces
Save progress	create_checkpoint	After completing steps
End work	complete_session	When task done

Workflow Checklist

Copy and track progress:

Task Progress:
- [ ] identify_context called
- [ ] guidelines loaded
- [ ] session started
- [ ] work completed
- [ ] checkpoint created
- [ ] session completed

Decision Tree

Need to write code?
├─ YES → Load guidelines first
│        ├─ Implementing interface? → Check contracts
│        └─ Using patterns? → Get patterns
└─ NO → Just reading/researching
         └─ No special tools needed

Anti-Patterns

❌ Starting code without identify_context

❌ Implementing interfaces without checking contracts ❌ Long sessions without checkpoints ❌ Creating docs without checking duplicates
