context-driven-development

Manage project context by organizing it as a living artifact alongside code, ensuring AI alignment and team awareness. This approach maintains a single source of truth through structured context documents that evolve with your project.

Documenting project context for brownfield applications requires capturing existing workflows and artifact relationships into structured set. It guides context capture, validation, and evolution to establish a single source of truth for ongoing development.

Set up context documents by initializing a project and creating core artifacts like product.md, workflow.md, and tech-stack.md. Link these files in a context registry to establish relationships and maintain a managed single source of truth.

Yes, context-driven development works without additional code components because it operates as a documentation and workflow methodology. It defines artifact relationships and lifecycle guidance in structured documents rather than relying on external dependencies.

Teams lose track of project guidelines when context is not managed as a first-class artifact. Establishing living documents like product-guidelines.md ensures consistent AI interactions and maintains team alignment across evolving project workflows.

Update project context artifacts whenever the project evolves, applying structured validation and lifecycle guidance. Treating context as a living artifact ensures your documentation continuously reflects current workflows and tech stack changes.
