SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Compile a project's current frozen contracts into a single CONTEXT-PACK.md that sub-agents read at spawn, reducing redundant context loading and ensuring consistent behavior across tasks.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Auto-assembly: Gather PRD contracts, ADR rules, schema digests, phase maps, and standing rules into one digest.
  • Regeneration on change: Regenerate the CONTEXT-PACK.md after PRD/ADR updates or cycle changes to keep context fresh.
  • Validation & safety: Validate that referenced contracts exist and that the pack reflects the latest sources before deployment.
  • Use Case: Start a new orchestration cycle with a fresh context pack, or re-brief sub-agents when the pack becomes stale.

Quick Start

Regenerate the CONTEXT-PACK.md for the active PRD after any amendment.

FAQPage Schema
How do I compile project contracts into a single context file for sub-agents?

You compile project contracts into a single context file by gathering PRD contracts, ADR rules, schema digests, and phase maps into one CONTEXT-PACK.md digest that sub-agents read at spawn.

When should I regenerate the context pack for an orchestration cycle?

Regenerate the context pack at the start of a new orchestration cycle or immediately after any PRD or ADR amendments to ensure sub-agents read the latest frozen contracts and maintain consistent behavior.

What is a context pack and how does it reduce redundant context loading?

A context pack is a single CONTEXT-PACK.md file consolidating frozen project contracts, which reduces redundant context loading by giving sub-agents one digest to read at spawn instead of querying multiple sources.

How does context pack validation ensure freshness and consistency?

Context pack validation checks that referenced contracts exist and confirms the pack reflects the latest real sources before deployment, ensuring freshness, consistency, and applicability across orchestration tasks.

Can I use a context pack to re-brief sub-agents when contracts become stale?

Yes, you can re-brief sub-agents by regenerating the CONTEXT-PACK.md when the existing pack becomes stale, which refreshes the context with current PRD contracts and ADR rules for ongoing tasks.

What are the limitations of relying on a compiled context pack for sub-agent orchestration?

The context pack only reflects frozen contracts at generation time, meaning it becomes stale if PRD or ADR sources change without regeneration, requiring manual validation to ensure referenced contracts still exist and remain applicable.
