The Context File

One file that briefs any AI on your product, so you stop re-explaining it every session. The template, a filled example, and the rule that settles it when two of your own rules disagree.

Set up & use

Seven sections that hold your product, your users, your goals, your constraints, your decisions, your standards, and your stop list. Three of them exist purely to settle arguments, and one line at the top says which rule wins when two of them clash. Every other tool here reads this file and writes back to it, so it gets better the more you work.

  1. 1

    Download the ZIP and unzip it. You get the guide, a blank template, and a filled example.

  2. 2

    Copy context-template.md into your project folder and fill it in. Twenty minutes gets you a first version, and it is meant to be rough.

  3. 3

    Point your AI at it. In Claude Code or Cursor, name it CLAUDE.md at the folder root. In a chat window, paste it once at the start.
