About this Skill

Organize project rules, task context and references so coding agents receive relevant information at the right time. Map the context hierarchy, write concrete project conventions and preserve active task constraints while removing stale material.

Why we picked it

A task workflow in Addy's Agent Skills. Follow the upstream instructions and retain referenced shared files; host capabilities and project configuration determine which steps can run.

What it helps with

  • An agent loses focus, invents project details or struggles after a task switch.

Workflow and deliverables

Map the context hierarchy, write concrete project conventions and preserve active task constraints while removing stale material.

Project rules, a useful context structure and an approach for refreshing and trimming long sessions.

Context Engineering instructions

Install with the required references

Install the complete pack through a documented repository integration when shared references are needed. A per-skill skills CLI install copies only skills/<name>/ and can omit the repository-level references/ checklists; keep the needed shared files with the workflow.

Upstream overview and integrations

Before you use it

  • An Agent that can load Skill Markdown and access your project. File edits, shell commands, builds and checks depend on the selected workflow and its environment.
  • Use your project's own runtimes, dependencies and verification commands. The Skill files provide instructions and do not install those project tools.
  • Install the complete pack through a documented repository integration when shared references are needed. A per-skill skills CLI install copies only skills/<name>/ and can omit the repository-level references/ checklists; keep the needed shared files with the workflow.
