SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Builds a high-fidelity, centralized map of a project’s context by inventorying data sources, systems of record, and key participants so Claude can rapidly orient itself and maintain a running timeline across sessions.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Interviews project stakeholders, identifies data sources and access patterns, and captures essential IDs and relationships.
  • Scaffolds project configuration artifacts (CLAUDE.md, settings.json, and custom agents) and prepares secure storage for credentials.
  • Generates a reusable context map and lightweight CLAUDE entry point to bootstrap new projects and maintain cross-project awareness.

Quick Start

Begin by reading context-map.md and run through the Phase 1 discovery workflow to map your project context.

FAQPage Schema
How do I create a project context map for Claude to maintain cross-session awareness?

To create a project context map, inventory all data sources, systems of record, and stakeholder relationships, then scaffold configuration artifacts like CLAUDE.md and settings.json to give Claude a centralized navigable reference for rapid orientation across sessions.

What is a context map used for in Claude project management?

A context map is used to capture essential IDs, access patterns, and project relationships into a single high-fidelity reference, allowing Claude to orient itself across data sources, people, and workflows during project initiation and maintenance.

How do I scaffold configuration artifacts like CLAUDE.md and settings.json for a new project?

Scaffolding configuration artifacts involves running a phase-driven discovery workflow to inventory project context, which then automatically generates a lightweight CLAUDE entry point, settings.json, and custom agents for repeatable sessions.

Can I use this context mapping approach to inventory data sources and access patterns?

Yes, the context mapping workflow specifically interviews project stakeholders to identify data sources and access patterns, capturing essential IDs and relationships to build a centralized project context.

Does building a context map require secure storage for project credentials?

Building a project context map prepares secure storage for credentials while scaffolding configuration artifacts, ensuring that captured IDs and access patterns are maintained safely for repeatable cross-project awareness.

When should I generate a context map during the project lifecycle?

Generate a context map during project initiation and ongoing maintenance to inventory sources, capture IDs, and scaffold configuration artifacts, ensuring Claude maintains a running timeline across sessions.
