SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Lightweight teams struggle with losing context when projects span multiple sessions and agents. This Skill provides a lightweight project management system designed to preserve context across conversations and sessions, enabling smoother handoffs and continuity.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Centralized cross-project state via a single index.yaml for status and boundaries
  • Three-tier context architecture: CONTEXT.md (active state), REFERENCE.md (stable facts), and sessions/ (archived logs)
  • Deterministic project workflows with session-based updates and archival protocols
  • Use Case: Facilitate AI-human collaboration on long-running projects where memory and structure must persist across interactions

Quick Start

Create a new project workspace and initialize CONTEXT.md, REFERENCE.md, and a sessions/ directory for ongoing collaboration.

FAQPage Schema
How do I preserve project context across multiple AI sessions?

Preserve project context across multiple AI sessions by implementing a three-tier architecture: CONTEXT.md for active state, REFERENCE.md for stable facts, and a sessions/ directory for archived logs, ensuring continuity during handoffs.

What is the best way to manage cross-project state for AI-human collaboration?

The best way to manage cross-project state for AI-human collaboration is maintaining a single index.yaml file to track project status and boundaries, providing a centralized source of truth for all agents and humans involved.

How do I set up a project workspace for multi-agent tracking and handoffs?

Set up a project workspace for multi-agent tracking by initializing CONTEXT.md, REFERENCE.md, and a sessions/ directory, then applying deterministic workflows with session-based updates and archival protocols to manage ongoing collaboration.

Does this context management approach work for lightweight teams?

Yes, this context management approach works for lightweight teams by providing a lightweight project management system designed to prevent context loss when projects span multiple sessions, agents, and human collaborators.

When do I need a three-tier context architecture for project management?

You need a three-tier context architecture for project management when facilitating AI-human collaboration on long-running projects where memory and structure must persist across interactions without losing track of active state or stable facts.
