+ # Context-Driven Development
8
+
9
+ Guide for implementing and maintaining context as a managed artifact alongside code, enabling consistent AI interactions and team alignment through structured project documentation.
10
+
11
+ ## When to Use This Skill
12
+
13
+ - Setting up new projects with Conductor
14
+ - Understanding the relationship between context artifacts
15
+ - Maintaining consistency across AI-assisted development sessions
16
+ - Onboarding team members to an existing Conductor project
17
+ - Deciding when to update context documents
18
+ - Managing greenfield vs brownfield project contexts
19
+
20
+ ## Core Philosophy
21
+
22
+ Context-Driven Development treats project context as a first-class artifact managed alongside code. Instead of relying on ad-hoc prompts or scattered documentation, establish a persistent, structured foundation that informs all AI interactions.
23
+
24
+ Key principles:
25
+
26
+ 1. **Context precedes code**: Define what you're building and how before implementation
27
+ 2. **Living documentation**: Context artifacts evolve with the project
28
+ 3. **Single source of truth**: One canonical location for each type of information
29
+ 4. **AI alignment**: Consistent context produces consistent AI behavior
30
+
31
+ ## The Workflow
32
+
33
+ Follow the **Context → Spec & Plan → Implement** workflow:
34
+
35
+ 1. **Context Phase**: Establish or verify project context artifacts exist and are current
36
+ 2. **Specification Phase**: Define requirements and acceptance criteria for work units
37
+ 3. **Planning Phase**: Break specifications into phased, actionable tasks
38
+ 4. **Implementation Phase**: Execute tasks following established workflow patterns
39
+
40

136
+ ## Context Maintenance Principles
137
+
138
+ ### Keep Artifacts Synchronized
139
+
140
+ Ensure changes in one artifact reflect in related documents:
141
+
142
+ - New feature in product.md → Update tech-stack.md if new dependencies needed
143
+ - Completed track → Update product.md to reflect new capabilities
144
+ - Workflow change → Update all affected track plans
145
+
146
+ ### Update tech-stack.md When Adding Dependencies
147
+
148
+ Before adding any new dependency:
149
+
150
+ 1. Check if existing dependencies solve the need
151
+ 2. Document the rationale for new dependencies
152
+ 3. Add version constraints
153
+ 4. Note any configuration requirements
154
+
155
+ ### Update product.md When Features Complete
156
+
157
+ After completing a feature track:
158
+
159
+ 1. Move feature from "planned" to "implemented" in product.md
160
+ 2. Update any affected success metrics
161
+ 3. Document any scope changes from original plan
162
+
163
+ ### Verify Context Before Implementation
164
+
165
+ Before starting any track:
166
+
167
+ 1. Read all context artifacts
168
+ 2. Flag any outdated information
169
+ 3. Propose updates before proceeding
170
+ 4. Confirm context accuracy with stakeholders
171
+
172
+ ## Greenfield vs Brownfield Handling
173
+
174
+ ### Greenfield Projects (New)
175
+
176
+ For new projects:
177
+
178
+ 1. Run `/conductor:setup` to create all artifacts interactively
179
+ 2. Answer questions about product vision, tech preferences, and workflow
180
+ 3. Generate initial style guides for chosen languages
181
+ 4. Create empty tracks registry
182
+
183
+ Characteristics:
184
+
185
+ - Full control over context structure
186
+ - Define standards before code exists
187
+ - Establish patterns early
188
+
189
+ ### Brownfield Projects (Existing)
190
+
191
+ For existing codebases:
192
+
193
+ 1. Run `/conductor:setup` with existing codebase detection
194
+ 2. System analyzes existing code, configs, and documentation
195
+ 3. Pre-populate artifacts based on discovered patterns
196
+ 4. Review and refine generated context
197
+
198
+ Characteristics:
199
+
200
+ - Extract implicit context from existing code
201
+ - Reconcile existing patterns with desired patterns
202
+ - Document technical debt and modernization plans
203
+ - Preserve working patterns while establishing standards
204
+
205
+ ## Benefits

+
209
+ - New team members onboard faster with explicit context
210
+ - Consistent terminology and conventions across the team
211
+ - Shared understanding of product goals and technical decisions
212
+
213
+ ### AI Consistency
214
+
215
+ - AI assistants produce aligned outputs across sessions

254
+ ## Context Lifecycle
255
+
256
+ 1. **Creation**: Initial setup via `/conductor:setup`
257
+ 2. **Validation**: Verify before each track
258
+ 3. **Evolution**: Update as project grows
259
+ 4. **Synchronization**: Keep artifacts aligned
260
+ 5. **Archival**: Document historical decisions
261
+
262
+ ## Context Validation Checklist
263
+
264
+ Before starting implementation on any track, validate context:
265
+
266
+ ### Product Context
267
+
268
+ - [ ] product.md reflects current product vision
269
+ - [ ] Target users are accurately described
270
+ - [ ] Feature list is up to date
271
+ - [ ] Success metrics are defined
272
+
273
+ ### Technical Context
274
+
275
+ - [ ] tech-stack.md lists all current dependencies
276
+ - [ ] Version numbers are accurate
277
+ - [ ] Infrastructure targets are correct
278
+ - [ ] Development tools are documented
279
+
280
+ ### Workflow Context
281
+
282
+ - [ ] workflow.md describes current practices
283
+ - [ ] Quality gates are defined
284
+ - [ ] Coverage targets are specified
285
+ - [ ] Commit conventions are documented
286
+
287
+ ### Track Context
288
+
289
+ - [ ] tracks.md shows all active work
290
+ - [ ] No stale or abandoned tracks
291
+ - [ ] Dependencies between tracks are noted
292
+
293
+ ## Common Anti-Patterns
294
+
295
+ Avoid these context management mistakes:
296
+
297
+ ### Stale Context
298
+
299
+ Problem: Context documents become outdated and misleading.
300
+ Solution: Update context as part of each track's completion process.
301
+
302
+ ### Context Sprawl
303
+
304
+ Problem: Information scattered across multiple locations.
305
+ Solution: Use the defined artifact structure; resist creating new document types.
306
+
307
+ ### Implicit Context
308
+
309
+ Problem: Relying on knowledge not captured in artifacts.
310
+ Solution: If you reference something repeatedly, add it to the appropriate artifact.
311
+
312
+ ### Context Hoarding
313
+
314
+ Problem: One person maintains context without team input.
315
+ Solution: Review context artifacts in pull requests; make updates collaborative.
316
+
317
+ ### Over-Specification
318
+
319
+ Problem: Context becomes so detailed it's impossible to maintain.
320
+ Solution: Keep artifacts focused on decisions that affect AI behavior and team alignment.
321
+
322
+ ## Integration with Development Tools
323
+
324
+ ### IDE Integration
325
+
326
+ Configure your IDE to display context files prominently:
327
+
328
+ - Pin conductor/product.md for quick reference
329
+ - Add tech-stack.md to project notes
330
+ - Create snippets for common patterns from style guides
331
+
332
+ ### Git Hooks
333
+
334
+ Consider pre-commit hooks that:
335
+
336
+ - Warn when dependencies change without tech-stack.md update
337
+ - Remind to update product.md when feature branches merge
338
+ - Validate context artifact syntax
339
+
340
+ ### CI/CD Integration
341
+
342
+ Include context validation in pipelines:
343
+
344
+ - Check tech-stack.md matches actual dependencies
345
+ - Verify links in context documents resolve
346
+ - Ensure tracks.md status matches git branch state
347
+
348
+ ## Session Continuity
349
+
350
+ Conductor supports multi-session development through context persistence:
351
+
352
+ ### Starting a New Session
353
+
354
+ 1. Read index.md to orient yourself
355
+ 2. Check tracks.md for active work
356
+ 3. Review relevant track's plan.md for current task
357
+ 4. Verify context artifacts are current
358
+
359
+ ### Ending a Session
360
+
361
+ 1. Update plan.md with current progress
362
+ 2. Note any blockers or decisions made
363
+ 3. Commit in-progress work with clear status
364
+ 4. Update tracks.md if status changed
365
+
366
+ ### Handling Interruptions
367
+
368
+ If interrupted mid-task:
369
+
370
+ 1. Mark task as `[~]` with note about stopping point
371
+ 2. Commit work-in-progress to feature branch
372
+ 3. Document any uncommitted decisions in plan.md
373
+
374
+ ## Best Practices
375
+
376
+ 1. **Read context first**: Always read relevant artifacts before starting work
377
+ 2. **Small updates**: Make incremental context changes, not massive rewrites
378
+ 3. **Link decisions**: Reference context when making implementation choices
379
+ 4. **Version context**: Commit context changes alongside code changes
380
+ 5. **Review context**: Include context artifact reviews in code reviews
381
+ 6. **Validate regularly**: Run context validation checklist before major work
382
+ 7. **Communicate changes**: Notify team when context artifacts change significantly
383
+ 8. **Preserve history**: Use git to track context evolution over time
384
+ 9. **Question staleness**: If context feels wrong, investigate and update
385
+ 10. **Keep it actionable**: Every context item should inform a decision or behavior

+ common_tags = {
144
+ Environment = "production"
145
+ Project = "my-project"
146
+ CostCenter = "engineering"
147
+ Owner = "team@example.com"
148
+ ManagedBy = "terraform"
149
+ }
150
+ }
151
+
152
+ resource "aws_instance" "example" {
153
+ ami = "ami-12345678"
154
+ instance_type = "t3.medium"
155
+
156
+ tags = merge(
157
+ local.common_tags,
158
+ {
159
+ Name = "web-server"
160
+ }
161
+ )
162
+ }
163
+ ```
164
+
165
+ **Reference:** See `references/tagging-standards.md`
166
+
167
+ ## Cost Monitoring
168
+
169
+ ### Budget Alerts
170
+ ```hcl
171
+ # AWS Budget
172
+ resource "aws_budgets_budget" "monthly" {
173
+ name = "monthly-budget"
174
+ budget_type = "COST"
175
+ limit_amount = "1000"
176
+ limit_unit = "USD"
177
+ time_period_start = "2024-01-01_00:00"
178
+ time_unit = "MONTHLY"
179
+
180
+ notification {
181
+ comparison_operator = "GREATER_THAN"
182
+ threshold = 80
183
+ threshold_type = "PERCENTAGE"
184
+ notification_type = "ACTUAL"
185
+ subscriber_email_addresses = ["team@example.com"]
186
+ }
187
+ }
188
+ ```
189
+
190
+ ### Cost Anomaly Detection
191
+ - AWS Cost Anomaly Detection
192
+ - Azure Cost Management alerts
193
+ - GCP Budget alerts
194
+
195
+ ## Architecture Patterns
196
+
197
+ ### Pattern 1: Serverless First
198
+ - Use Lambda/Functions for event-driven
199
+ - Pay only for execution time
200
+ - Auto-scaling included
201
+ - No idle costs
202
+
203
+ ### Pattern 2: Right-Sized Databases
204
+ ```
205
+ Development: t3.small RDS
206
+ Staging: t3.large RDS
207
+ Production: r6g.2xlarge RDS with read replicas
208
+ ```
209
+
210
+ ### Pattern 3: Multi-Tier Storage
211
+ ```
212
+ Hot data: S3 Standard
213
+ Warm data: S3 Standard-IA (30 days)
214
+ Cold data: S3 Glacier (90 days)
215
+ Archive: S3 Deep Archive (365 days)
216
+ ```
217
+
218
+ ### Pattern 4: Auto-Scaling
219
+ ```hcl
220
+ resource "aws_autoscaling_policy" "scale_up" {
221
+ name = "scale-up"
222
+ scaling_adjustment = 2
223
+ adjustment_type = "ChangeInCapacity"
224
+ cooldown = 300
225
+ autoscaling_group_name = aws_autoscaling_group.main.name
226
+ }
227
+
228
+ resource "aws_cloudwatch_metric_alarm" "cpu_high" {
229
+ alarm_name = "cpu-high"
230
+ comparison_operator = "GreaterThanThreshold"
231
+ evaluation_periods = "2"
232
+ metric_name = "CPUUtilization"
233
+ namespace = "AWS/EC2"
234
+ period = "60"
235
+ statistic = "Average"
236
+ threshold = "80"
237
+ alarm_actions = [aws_autoscaling_policy.scale_up.arn]
238
+ }
239
+ ```
240
+
