Project Context Dump for AI Sessions

A reusable context block to paste at the start of any AI coding session, covering your stack, key files, conventions, and known constraints so replies stop being generic. - Fill in project name, stack, main/config files, and naming/testing conventions once - Lists known constraints like performance limits and technical debt to work around - Save it as a markdown file and refresh it weekly as the project changes - Re-paste key facts mid-session on long threads to keep the AI anchored

Prompt
Here's the context for my project:

Project: {{project_name}} - {{one_line_description}}

Stack: {{frontend}} + {{backend}} + {{database}}

Working on right now: {{session_focus}}
Important files:
- {{main_file_path}} - {{main_file_purpose}}
- {{config_file_path}} - {{config_file_purpose}}

Conventions:
- {{naming_patterns}}
- {{error_handling_approach}}
- {{testing_strategy}}

Known constraints:

- {{security_considerations}}
- {{technical_debt}}

I'm about to {{specific_task}}. Hold on to this context for the rest of our session.
