Context Architecture: the day I realized the whole repo is the context
Short summary
AI agents follow code patterns in your repo, not instructions in prompts. When repos contradict themselves with stale docs or deprecated modules, agents propagate those errors. Context Architecture solves this by tying every repo claim to mechanisms (linting, tests, types, CI) that fail when the claim becomes false.
- •Agents use repo structure as context, not your prompt instructions
- •Contradictory code and docs cause agents to propagate errors
- •Context Architecture enforces truth through lint rules, tests, and CI checks
Generated with AI, which can make mistakes.
