# Manage Context-Driven Development

AI-assisted projects lose consistency when context lives in scattered notes. This skill provides a structured Conductor workflow for product, stack, workflow, and track artifacts.

## Install

```bash

## Capabilities

- Explains how product.md, product-guidelines.md, tech-stack.md, workflow.md, and tracks.md relate.
- Guides greenfield and brownfield setup with Conductor context artifacts.
- Provides checklists for validating product, technical, workflow, and track context.
- Describes when to update context artifacts during feature work and dependency changes.
- Recommends session continuity practices for starting, ending, and resuming development work.

## Use Cases

- Start a New AI-Assisted Project: Create a clear context foundation before implementation begins, including product goals, technology choices, workflow rules, and track structure.
- Standardize Team Context: Align product, engineering, and documentation decisions so AI assistants and team members follow the same project rules.
- Refresh Existing Project Documentation: Review brownfield codebases, identify outdated context, and update Conductor artifacts before planning new work.

## Prompt Templates

### Create Initial Context

```
Use context-driven-development to help me create Conductor context artifacts for a new project. Ask for product goals, users, technology preferences, and workflow needs.
```

### Validate Current Context

```
Review my Conductor context artifacts for consistency. Flag outdated product, technical, workflow, or track information before I start implementation.
```

### Plan Brownfield Context Setup

```
Use context-driven-development for an existing project. Identify what context can be inferred from the repository and what needs stakeholder confirmation.
```

### Synchronize Context After Delivery

```
A feature track is complete. Help me update product, tech-stack, workflow, tracks, and session notes so the Conductor context stays synchronized.
```

## Limitations

- Does not include executable scripts or automated validators.
- Assumes the Conductor artifact structure and slash commands are available.
- Cannot infer actual project facts without reading repository context.
- Does not replace human review of product, architecture, or workflow decisions.

## Best Practices

- Read the relevant context artifacts before planning or coding work.
- Update context documents as part of each completed track.
- Keep artifacts focused on decisions that guide AI behavior and team alignment.

## Anti Patterns

- Starting implementation before verifying product, technical, and workflow context.
- Creating duplicate documents instead of updating the canonical Conductor artifacts.
- Letting one person own context updates without team review.

## Security Audit

- Audited at: 2026-07-07T06:55:10.718\+00:00
- Summary: The six static findings were reviewed against SKILL.md. Each finding is a false positive caused by Markdown inline code, a directory tree fence, or ordinary prose; no malicious intent or prompt injection evidence was found.
