To create structured project context documents, run the initialization wizard in your project root to generate five JSON files covering 5W2H, premises, risks, requirements, and restrictions. These documents persist state locally to ensure consistent context handoffs between sessions.

GATE-0.5 readiness validation is a prerequisite check that enforces formal project context creation before advancing to implementation. It verifies your five foundation JSON documents are properly created and validated to prevent unstructured project execution.

To migrate an existing SPEC.md file into structured project context, use the built-in migration tools and templates. This decomposes your existing specification context into the five persistent JSON foundation documents stored under the local state directory.

Yes, you need jq installed as a prerequisite dependency to generate and manage project foundation files. The scripts use jq to parse, validate, and manipulate the five JSON context documents stored in your local state directory.

Yes, you can use these project foundation templates for risk and requirements management across software engineering projects. The generated JSON documents enforce structured ideation and restriction tracking, ensuring consistent gating and state persistence regardless of project scale.

The best way to maintain consistent project state across sessions is persisting context documents locally in a dedicated state directory. This approach stores your 5W2H, premises, risks, requirements, and restrictions as JSON files for reliable handoffs.
