Overview

Build context layers that make agents perform like senior engineers. This skill audits existing context, identifies gaps, and guides you through capturing tribal knowledge that code alone cannot express.

Core principle: Progressive disclosure. Load only what's needed, when it's needed. The goal is maximum signal per token—compression, not documentation.

Workflow

Phase 1: Parallel Exploration

Spin up multiple explore agents simultaneously to analyze the codebase from different angles:
