SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Checks for the existence of a project context bank (.context/ folder structure for task tracking and project context). If not present, offers to create and initialize the necessary folders and files.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Validate presence of .context/plans/, .context/investigations/, .context/tasks/, .context/tasks-done/, .context/plans-done/, .context/progress.md, and .context/decisions.md.
  • Create missing structure and files to bootstrap a context-driven workflow (and update CLAUDE.md references if needed).
  • Provide guidance on preserving existing components like patterns-architecture.md and domain.md when handled by other skills.

Quick Start

Run the context-init action to initialize or verify the .context folder.

FAQPage Schema
How do I set up a project context bank for task tracking and decision records?▼

To set up a project context bank, run the context-init action to validate and create the .context directory structure, including plans, investigations, tasks, and decisions files.

What files do I need for context-driven project planning and progress tracking?▼

Context-driven planning requires files like progress.md, decisions.md, and CLAUDE.md, plus folders for plans, investigations, tasks, tasks-done, and plans-done within the .context directory.

How do I verify my existing .context folder structure for project management?▼

Verify your .context folder by running the context-init action, which audits for required directories and files, and guides creation of any missing project management components.

Will initializing a context bank overwrite my existing architecture patterns or domain files?▼

Initializing a context bank preserves existing components like patterns-architecture.md and domain.md, ensuring components managed by other skills remain untouched during setup and remediation.

Why is my context-driven workflow missing the plans-done and tasks-done directories?▼

Missing plans-done and tasks-done directories occur when the .context structure is incomplete; run context-init to audit the project context bank and bootstrap missing folders.

Can I use context-init to bootstrap project investigations and epics tracking?▼

Yes, context-init bootstraps project investigations and epics tracking by creating the .context/investigations/ directory and updating CLAUDE.md references for workflow integration.
