Domain Docs

How the engineering skills should consume this repo's domain documentation when exploring the codebase.

This repo uses a multi-context layout.

Before exploring, read these

• CONTEXT-MAP.md at the repo root — points at one CONTEXT.md per context. Read each one relevant to the topic.
• docs/adr/ — system-wide architectural decisions.
• src/<context>/docs/adr/ — context-scoped decisions for the area you're about to work in.

If any of these files don't exist, proceed silently. Don't flag their absence; don't suggest creating them upfront. The producer skill (/grill-with-docs) creates them lazily when terms or decisions actually get resolved.

Use the glossary's vocabulary

When your output names a domain concept (in an issue title, a refactor proposal, a hypothesis, a test name), use the term as defined in the relevant CONTEXT.md. Don't drift to synonyms the glossary explicitly avoids.

If the concept you need isn't in the glossary yet, that's a signal — either you're inventing language the project doesn't use (reconsider) or there's a real gap (note it for /grill-with-docs).

Flag ADR conflicts

If your output contradicts an existing ADR, surface it explicitly rather than silently overriding:

Contradicts ADR-0007 (event-sourced orders) — but worth reopening because…
