# Context Policy

AI systems perform significantly better when context is:
- structured
- concise
- consistent
- relevant

## Core Rules

### 1. Read Context Before Acting

Before:
- implementing features
- generating specs
- reviewing code
- proposing architecture

Always review:
- project vision
- architecture principles
- glossary
- relevant specs

---

### 2. Respect Shared Terminology

Use terminology consistently.

The glossary exists to:
- reduce ambiguity
- improve communication
- improve AI consistency

---

### 3. Avoid Context Overload

More context is NOT always better.

Prefer:
- focused context
- relevant files
- small scoped discussions

---

### 4. Surface Missing Context

If important context is missing:
- ask questions
- document assumptions
- identify ambiguity

Avoid silently inventing requirements.
