+# Business Context
+
+This directory contains business context documents that help the AI agents understand your domain, stakeholders, and existing systems.
+
+## What to include
+
+- **Domain glossary** - Key terms and definitions specific to your business
+- **Stakeholder information** - Who uses the system, their roles and needs
+- **Existing system documentation** - Architecture diagrams, API docs, data models
+- **Business rules** - Constraints, policies, and logic that govern the domain
+- **Compliance requirements** - Regulatory or legal considerations
+- **Integration points** - External systems and how they connect
+
+## How agents use this
+
+The agents (particularly Alex) reference these documents when:
+- Creating system specifications
+- Writing feature specifications
+- Ensuring consistency with domain language
+- Understanding constraints and dependencies
+
+## Tips
+
+- Keep documents concise and up-to-date
+- Use markdown for consistency
+- Link to external documentation rather than duplicating it
+- Update as your understanding of the domain evolves
