This skill uses a small, predictable document model so agents can read and update the shared context consistently.
CONTEXT.md
HANDOFF.mdPOLICY.md
CONTEXT.md is the compact, current-state view. It should stay readable in one pass and prefer synthesis over raw history.
Required headings:
# Shared Context
## Overview
## Stable Facts
## Active Context
## Decisions
## Open QuestionsSection intent:
Overview: short summary of the project or workstream this repo representsStable Facts: verified statements that should remain true until contradicted by new evidenceActive Context: current work state, near-term focus, and relevant recent observationsDecisions: accepted decisions with brief rationale when usefulOpen Questions: unresolved issues, assumptions to validate, and explicit hypotheses
Use HANDOFF.md only for what the next agent needs immediately. It should be short and current.
Recommended headings:
# Handoff
## What Changed
## What Is True Now
## What Is Uncertain
## Recommended Next StepUse POLICY.md for team-specific rules such as who may write to the default branch, when PR review is required, or what counts as a meaningful update.
