Project Context Management Skill

Quick Start

Initialize context at conversation start:

typescript

// 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:

code

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

Decision Tree

code

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
