Context Engineering

Four operations control everything about how context flows through an AI coding session. Master them and you control the quality of every response.

The Four Operations

1. Write — Persist Info Outside Context

Move information out of the context window into durable storage so it survives compaction and session boundaries.

Where to write:

Target When Example
CLAUDE.md Permanent project rules "Always use pnpm, never npm"
NOTES.md / scratchpad Working state for current task Architecture decisions, open questions
.claude/memory/ Learnings and patterns [LEARN] rules from corrections
External files Data too large for context Test plans, migration checklists
