context-driven-development

context-driven-development is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from mattmre/EVOKORE-MCP-PUBLIC. It costs 103 tokens per session (2,345 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of context-driven-development, MIT.

A method for keeping a project's goals, technology choices, workflow, and work plan in structured documents. It treats this information as shared project context that changes with the code.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to start projects, document existing codebases, onboard team members, check that project documents agree, and keep them updated during development.
Why use it?
It reduces confusion caused by scattered or outdated instructions, especially when people or AI tools work on the same codebase.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

context-driven-development scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 4d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Context-Driven Development

Guide for implementing and maintaining context as a managed artifact alongside code, enabling consistent AI interactions and team alignment through structured project documentation.

When to Use This Skill

  • Setting up new projects with Conductor
  • Understanding the relationship between context artifacts
  • Maintaining consistency across AI-assisted development sessions
  • Onboarding team members to an existing Conductor project
  • Deciding when to update context documents
  • Managing greenfield vs brownfield project contexts

Core Philosophy

Context-Driven Development treats project context as a first-class artifact managed alongside code. Instead of relying on ad-hoc prompts or scattered documentation, establish a persistent, structured foundation that informs all AI interactions.

Key principles:

  1. Context precedes code: Define what you're building and how before implementation
  2. Living documentation: Context artifacts evolve with the project
  3. Single source of truth: One canonical location for each type of information
  4. AI alignment: Consistent context produces consistent AI behavior

The Workflow

Follow the Context → Spec & Plan → Implement workflow:

  1. Context Phase: Establish or verify project context artifacts exist and are current
  2. Specification Phase: Define requirements and acceptance criteria for work units
  3. Planning Phase: Break specifications into phased, actionable tasks
  4. Implementation Phase: Execute tasks following established workflow patterns

Artifact Relationships

Purpose: Captures product vision, goals, target users, and business context.

Contents:

  • Product name and one-line description
  • Problem statement and solution approach
  • Target user personas
  • Core features and capabilities
  • Success metrics and KPIs
  • Product roadmap (high-level)

Update when:

  • Product vision or goals change
  • New major features are planned
  • Target audience shifts
  • Business priorities evolve

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
