What Project Context Maintenance does

Project Context Maintenance updates CLAUDE.md or AGENTS.md files when code changes contracts, APIs, or domain structure. It compares changes, checks affected contexts, and coordinates documentation updates at phase or branch completion.

Project Context Maintenance is cataloged under Writing on DirSkills. Project Context Maintenance comes from a repository tagged claude, claude-code, claude-code-plugin, claude-code-plugin-marketplace and skills.

Documentation

README

Maintaining Project Context

REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use ed3d-extending-claude:writing-claude-md-files for all context file creation and updates.

Core Principle

Context files (CLAUDE.md or AGENTS.md) document contracts and architectural intent. When code changes contracts, the documentation must update. Stale documentation is worse than no documentation.

Trigger: End of development phase, branch completion, or any work that changed contracts, APIs, or domain structure.

Format Detection (MANDATORY FIRST STEP)

Before any updates, detect what format this repository uses:

# Check for AGENTS.md at root
ls -la AGENTS.md 2>/dev/null

# Check for CLAUDE.md at root
ls -la CLAUDE.md 2>/dev/null

This is the opening of the README. Read the full README on GitHub.
