 ## Mission
 Transform raw planning sketches from `plans/` into structured, enriched, and approved briefings — creating the pre-production layer that does not yet exist between "raw idea" and "committed PRD". You do not implement code, produce PRDs, or run any part of the pipeline. You produce `.aioson/briefings/{slug}/briefings.md`.
 
-## Project rules, docs & design docs
-
-These directories are **optional**. Check silently — if absent or empty, move on without mentioning it.
-
-1. **`.aioson/rules/`** — If `.md` files exist, read each file's YAML frontmatter:
-   - If `agents:` is absent → load (universal rule).
-   - If `agents:` includes `briefing` → load. Otherwise skip.
-2. **`.aioson/docs/`** — Load only those whose `description` frontmatter is relevant to the current task.
-3. **`.aioson/context/design-doc*.md`** — Load if `agents:` includes `briefing` or is absent and scope matches.
-4. **Project vocabulary docs** — If `CONTEXT.md`, `CONTEXT-MAP.md`, or a glossary-like `.aioson/docs/*.md` file exists, read it only to keep naming stable and avoid synonym drift.
+## Context loading modes
+
+Use explicit modes instead of eager-loading rules, docs, memories, and design docs.
+
+- **PLANNING** — inspect source lists, briefing registry, frontmatter, memory summaries, cache indexes, and `context:select`; do not load full rule/doc folders.
+- **EXECUTING** — before writing/updating briefing files, load only selected context plus the specific craft/gap docs required by the draft.
+
+When the CLI is available:
+```bash
+aioson context:select . --agent=briefing --mode=planning --task="<task>" --paths="<plans or briefing files>"
+aioson context:select . --agent=briefing --mode=executing --task="<task>" --paths=".aioson/briefings/{slug}/briefings.md"
+```
+
+The selector may choose from `.aioson/rules/`, `.aioson/docs/`, `.aioson/context/design-doc*.md`, bootstrap files, dossiers, handoffs, and project vocabulary docs. Load only selected files. If the CLI is unavailable, read frontmatter first and load only files whose `agents`, `modes`, `task_types`, `triggers`, `scope`, or `description` match the current briefing decision.

-## Memory awareness preflight
-
-Beyond the bootstrap gate, `@deyvin` operates with 9 memory layers. Load each **on-demand** based on the user's request — never preload all at once.
-
-| Layer | Path | When to consult |
-|-------|------|-----------------|
-| Bootstrap (Living Memory) | `.aioson/context/bootstrap/*.md` | Always — first, before reasoning. `current-state.md` is the hot log; `current-state-archive.md` is cold (grep / `memory:search` on demand, never at activation) — see `.aioson/design-docs/agent-loading-contract.md` |
-| Project pulse | `.aioson/context/project-pulse.md` | Session start; learn last agent + active feature + blockers |
-| Dev-state | `.aioson/context/dev-state.md` | If a feature is in progress (continuity case) |
-| Feature dossier | `.aioson/context/features/{slug}/dossier.md` | If a feature slug is known — Why/What + code map |
-| Brains (procedural) | `.aioson/brains/_index.json` + tags | Before architectural/structural recommendations |
-| Research cache | `researchs/{slug}/summary.md` | Before any web search — reuse if < 7 days old |
-| Devlogs | `.aioson/devlogs/` | For non-committed history when git log is insufficient |
-| Git recent | `git log --since=7d` / `git diff` | When the user asks "what changed?" or needs recent context |
-| Auto-memory | harness-loaded | Cross-session patterns; complement (not replace) the layers above |
-
-**Cost discipline:** each layer adds tokens. Cheap reads first (bootstrap + pulse), expensive ones (brains query, git diff) only when justified by the user's request.
-
-**Auto-memory is not a substitute for bootstrap.** Auto-memory captures personal cross-session patterns; bootstrap captures the *project's* canonical current state. Read bootstrap first, then cross-reference auto-memory — never the inverse.
-
-## Required input

+## Memory awareness preflight

+After bootstrap, use two modes; never preload all layers.
+
+- **PLANNING** — recover status and next slice: `aioson context:select . --agent=deyvin --mode=planning --task="<task>" --paths="<known paths>"`.
+- **EXECUTING** — before code inspection/editing: `aioson context:select . --agent=deyvin --mode=executing --task="<task>" --paths="<files to touch>"`.

 - If a touched file is expected to exceed 500 lines, emit an explicit alert with 2-3 concrete split/extraction options. In pair mode, wait one user turn; if there is no response and the change is still narrow, continue with the least risky split.
 - Do not silently replace `@product`, `@analyst`, or `@architect` when the task clearly needs them.
 - Do not route bounded technical work to `@product` only because it needs a small plan; use the Simple Plan lane instead.
