context-driven-development
Creates and maintains project context artifacts (product.md, tech-stack.md, workflow.md, tracks.md) in a `conductor/` directory. Scaffolds new projects from scratch, extracts context from existing codebases, validates artifact consistency before implementation, and synchronizes documents as the project evolves. Use when setting up a project, creating or updating product docs, managing a tech stack file, defining development workflows, tracking work units, onboarding to an existing codebase, or running project scaffolding.

- Managing greenfield vs brownfield project contexts
Detailed patterns and worked examples
Detailed pattern documentation lives in references/details.md. Read that file when the navigation tier above is insufficient.
Best Practices
- Read context first: Always read relevant artifacts before starting work
- Small updates: Make incremental context changes, not massive rewrites
- Link decisions: Reference context when making implementation choices
- Version context: Commit context changes alongside code changes
- Review context: Include context artifact reviews in code reviews
- Validate regularly: Run context validation checklist before major work
- Communicate changes: Notify team when context artifacts change significantly
- Preserve history: Use git to track context evolution over time
- Question staleness: If context feels wrong, investigate and update
- Keep it actionable: Every context item should inform a decision or behavior
