What problem does it solve? AI coding agents hallucinate APIs, ignore project conventions, and degrade in quality during long sessions because they receive too little, too much, or stale context. This Skill provides a systematic method for curating what the agent sees at every stage of a session. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Context Hierarchy: Organizes context into five levels from persistent rules files (CLAUDE.md, .cursorrules, AGENTS.md) down to transient conversation history, with templates for each. - Context Budget Management: Defines when to trim (at 75% capacity), what to cut first, what to protect, and how to compress history into summaries instead of deleting it. - Confusion Management: Provides patterns for surfacing spec conflicts and missing requirements instead of silently guessing, plus an inline planning pattern for multi-step tasks. - Use Case: When starting a new project for AI-assisted development, use this Skill to write a rules file covering tech stack, commands, conventions, and boundaries so the agent follows your patterns from the first prompt. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to create a CLAUDE.md rules file for your project covering tech stack, commands, conventions, and boundaries using the context engineering guidelines.
