SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Per-specialist context is often scattered across wiki, plans, and standards, leading to inconsistent guidance and slower dispatch. This skill automates the assembly of a consistent, per-lane briefing by combining universal principles, role-specific standards, and task-specific plan details.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Universal layer pulls in guild:principles, wiki/context/project-overview.md, and wiki/context/goals.md.
  • Role-dependent layer loads standards matching the lane's role and 2–4 relevant entity pages from wiki/entities.
  • Task-dependent layer incorporates the lane block from .guild/plan/<slug>.md, named references, upstream contracts, and active decisions from wiki/decisions.
  • Outputs a single markdown bundle to .guild/context/<run-id>/<specialist>-<task-id>.md for handoff to subagents.

Quick Start

Build the per-specialist context bundle for a lane once the plan is approved and before dispatch.

FAQPage Schema
How do I assemble per-specialist context bundles for agent dispatch?▼

To assemble per-specialist context bundles, you combine universal principles, role-specific standards, and task-specific plan details into a single markdown file for each lane. This ensures consistent guidance before dispatch.

What is a 3-layer context bundle in lifecycle planning?▼

A 3-layer context bundle is a briefing format that combines universal guild principles, role-dependent standards, and task-dependent plan details. It guides dispatch by providing comprehensive, reproducible context for each specialist lane.

How do I manage token budgets when generating context for multiple subagents?▼

You manage token budgets by enforcing a reproducibility policy during context assembly, sourcing only essential universal principles, role-specific standards, and task-specific references to generate concise markdown bundles for subagents.

When do I need to generate role-dependent context files for plan execution?▼

You need to generate role-dependent context files once a plan is approved and before dispatching tasks. This ensures each specialist receives lane-specific standards and task details required for execution.

Does context assembly work with existing wiki documentation and plan files?▼

Yes, context assembly works by sourcing from wiki context, guild principles, and plan-derived data. It extracts project overviews, role standards, and task-specific lane blocks to create the final briefing bundle.

What is the best way to ensure consistent guidance across scattered wiki and plan data?▼

The best way to ensure consistent guidance is to automate context assembly, combining scattered wiki entities, decisions, and plan blocks into a single markdown bundle per specialist. This prevents inconsistent guidance during dispatch.
