# Context-Driven Development Guide for implementing and maintaining context as a managed artifact alongside code, enabling consistent AI interactions and team alignment through structured project documentation. ## Do not use this skill when - The task is unrelated to context-driven development - You need a different domain or tool outside this scope ## Instructions - Clarify goals, constraints, and required inputs. - Apply relevant best practices and validate outcomes. - Provide actionable steps and verification. - If detailed examples are required, open `resources/implementation-playbook.md`. ## Use this skill when - Setting up new projects with Conductor - Understanding the relationship between context artifacts - Maintaining consistency across AI-assisted development sessions - Onboarding team members to an existing Conductor project - Deciding when to update context documents - Managing greenfield vs brownfield project contexts ## Core Philosophy 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. Key principles: 1. **Context precedes code**: Define what you're building and how before implementation 2. **Living documentation**: Context artifacts evolve with the project 3. **Single source of truth**: One canonical location for each type of information 4. **AI alignment**: ...
