SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Context-driven development (CDD) practitioners need a consistent, enforceable pattern for defining outcomes, validating progress, and keeping project and feature knowledge aligned. This skill provides a centralized, frontmatter-driven contract that guides context creation, updates, reviews, search, and synchronization across the repository.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Establishes a canonical structure for CDD in the repository, including context frontmatter, project/feature indices, and optional wrapper guidance.
  • Enforces consistent naming, indexing rules, and operational guidance to keep contexts discoverable, verifiable, and reusable.
  • Documents cross-project integration expectations (wrapper skills) without exposing internal implementation details.

Quick Start

Run Nexus context-create or context-update commands to generate or refresh a new context and its associated index documentation.

FAQPage Schema
How do I standardize context document frontmatter across a repository?

To standardize context frontmatter across a repository, apply a canonical schema that enforces consistent naming, indexing rules, and validation for all context-driven development documents. This ensures contexts remain discoverable and verifiable across projects.

What is context-driven development and how does it manage project knowledge?

Context-driven development uses a frontmatter-driven contract to define outcomes, validate progress, and keep project knowledge aligned. It centralizes context creation, updates, and synchronization to maintain a verifiable and reusable project index.

How do I create and update context indices for feature documentation?

Create and update context indices by running context-create or context-update commands. This generates and refreshes context documents and their associated index documentation while enforcing a consistent structure for feature tracking.

Can I use wrapper skills for cross-project context integration?

Yes, you can use wrapper skills for cross-project integration. The canonical context standard guides wrapper skills and documents integration expectations without exposing the underlying implementation details of the context management system.

Does context-driven development require external dependencies to validate documentation?

No external dependencies are required to validate documentation. The context-driven development standard operates independently to enforce frontmatter schemas and index structures, ensuring consistent validation and search across the repository.

What is the best way to maintain searchable context indices in a repository?

The best way to maintain searchable context indices is to automate context planning and synchronization using a canonical standard. Enforcing consistent indexing rules and operational guidance keeps contexts discoverable and reusable across the repository.
