What problem does it solve?

Capture and centralize engineering team, org structure, and direct-report context to ground all EM guidance in your real environment.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Shared memory layer for other EM skills to read context automatically.
  • Auto-updates durable context as conversations reveal changes.
  • Bootstrapping missing context with a minimal manager profile and per-direct-report profiles.

Quick Start

Create .agents/em-context.md with your team and org context to bootstrap the foundation.

FAQPage Schema
How do I capture and centralize engineering team context for management automation?

Engineering team context is captured by creating a .agents/em-context.md file with your team and org structure. This foundation profile bootstraps a shared memory layer that grounds all engineering management guidance in your real environment.

How does auto-update context management work for direct reports?

Auto-update context management operates by reading durable files and updating memories when new information emerges during conversations. It applies auto-update rules to per-report profiles, ensuring engineering management context remains a living memory.

What do I need to bootstrap missing engineering team and org structure context?

Bootstrapping missing context requires creating a .agents/em-context.md file containing a minimal manager profile and per-direct-report profiles. This establishes the foundation context needed to ground subsequent engineering management operations.

Can I use this context management system to coordinate with other engineering management skills?

Yes, this system coordinates with other engineering management skills by acting as a shared memory layer. Other EM skills automatically read the centralized team and org structure context to preserve durable, living memory across workflows.

When do I need to update durable context files for engineering management?

Durable context files need updating when new information about team structure or direct reports emerges during conversations. The auto-update rules detect these changes and apply them to the .agents/em-context.md and per-report profiles automatically.

Does engineering management context management work without external dependencies?

Yes, engineering management context management operates without external dependencies. It relies entirely on durable markdown files and internal memory rules to capture, centralize, and update team and org structure context.
