Establishing Project Context

Overview

Maintain a CONTEXT.md file at the project root that defines the project's domain language — a single source of truth for terminology shared between the agent and the human. Borrowed from Domain-Driven Design's "ubiquitous language" principle.

CONTEXT.md is about the user's project domain, NOT about Aegis governance. For Aegis governance docs, see docs/current/ and docs/adr/.

Where CONTEXT.md Lives

• Single project: <project_root>/CONTEXT.md

• Monorepo / multiple bounded contexts: <project_root>/CONTEXT-MAP.md maps context names to their locations:

  ordering → src/ordering/CONTEXT.md
  billing  → src/billing/CONTEXT.md
  

  System-wide terms still go in root CONTEXT.md.
