Context Maintenance

Goal

Keep this workspace useful as living memory instead of a pile of disconnected notes.


Stable Rules

  • Update canonical context when a durable fact changes.
  • Prefer correcting stale context over appending contradictory notes.
  • Use the smallest correct destination:
    • ai/logs/YYYY-MM-DD.md for daily progress and evolving findings
    • ai/state/current.md for near-term active work
    • ai/state/work-items.md for Jira-linked active work
    • ai/context/ for durable project knowledge
    • ai/context/people/ for named person context

Ingestion Rules

  • Treat Mattermost, Slack history, and direct prompts as potential memory sources.
  • Do not promote failed syncs or tooling errors as project facts.
  • Promote repeated durable patterns from historical archives into stable context when confidence is high.
  • Keep old status-only details archive-only unless they still change current understanding.

Curation Rule

  • If a new stable context file is added, keep project.md and index.md aligned so future sessions can discover it quickly.
