What problem does it solve?

Capture and centralize engineering team, org structure, and direct-report context to ground all EM guidance in your real environment.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Shared memory layer for other EM skills to read context automatically.
  • Auto-updates durable context as conversations reveal changes.
  • Bootstrapping missing context with a minimal manager profile and per-direct-report profiles.

Quick Start

Create .agents/em-context.md with your team and org context to bootstrap the foundation.

FAQPage Schema
How do I capture and centralize engineering team context for management automation?▼

Engineering team context is captured by creating a .agents/em-context.md file with your team and org structure. This foundation profile bootstraps a shared memory layer that grounds all engineering management guidance in your real environment.

How does auto-update context management work for direct reports?▼

Auto-update context management operates by reading durable files and updating memories when new information emerges during conversations. It applies auto-update rules to per-report profiles, ensuring engineering management context remains a living memory.

What do I need to bootstrap missing engineering team and org structure context?▼

Bootstrapping missing context requires creating a .agents/em-context.md file containing a minimal manager profile and per-direct-report profiles. This establishes the foundation context needed to ground subsequent engineering management operations.

Can I use this context management system to coordinate with other engineering management skills?▼

Yes, this system coordinates with other engineering management skills by acting as a shared memory layer. Other EM skills automatically read the centralized team and org structure context to preserve durable, living memory across workflows.

When do I need to update durable context files for engineering management?▼

Durable context files need updating when new information about team structure or direct reports emerges during conversations. The auto-update rules detect these changes and apply them to the .agents/em-context.md and per-report profiles automatically.

Does engineering management context management work without external dependencies?▼

Yes, engineering management context management operates without external dependencies. It relies entirely on durable markdown files and internal memory rules to capture, centralize, and update team and org structure context.
