SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Context engineering provides a structured approach to curate the knowledge an LLM needs to work within a codebase, making conventions explicit and enforceable.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Stack Declaration: document current language, tooling, and environment.
  • Conventions: define observable, enforceable rules for naming, structure, and error handling.
  • Enforceability and Maintenance: guide teams to keep HARNESS.md context fresh and aligned with codebase changes.
  • Reference materials: link to reference patterns and patterns for converting aspirations into observable properties.

Quick Start

Summarize your project’s stack and conventions and convert aspirations into observable rules using the Context Engineering guidelines.

FAQPage Schema
How do I curate codebase context to guide AI agents?

Curate codebase context by summarizing your stack and conventions, then converting project aspirations into observable rules using a HARNESS.md file. This makes guidelines explicit and enforceable for AI tools.

What is context engineering for an LLM codebase?

Context engineering structures the knowledge an LLM needs to work within a codebase by documenting the stack, defining conventions, and establishing an enforceability framework to keep guidance up to date.

How do I make coding conventions enforceable for AI assistants?

Make coding conventions enforceable by defining observable rules for naming, structure, and error handling within a HARNESS.md file, ensuring properties can be checked by tools or reviewers.

How do I document stack and environment details for AI code generation?

Document stack details by declaring your current language, tooling, and environment within your project context. This explicit stack declaration ensures AI agents generate compatible code.

How do I maintain codebase context as my project changes?

Maintain codebase context by applying maintenance guidelines that keep your HARNESS.md sections fresh and aligned with codebase changes across code, documentation, and review processes.

Can I convert aspirational coding guidelines into observable properties?

Convert aspirational coding guidelines into observable properties by utilizing reference materials and patterns that translate general goals into concrete, checkable rules for AI agents.
