Context Engineering
Feed the agent the right information at the right time — too little and it hallucinates, too much and it loses focus. The mechanism is a context hierarchy from persistent to transient: rules files (CLAUDE.md and its equivalents), then per-feature spec sections, then per-task source files, then per-iteration error output, then conversation history. It favours selective includes over brain-dumps, pulls in MCP integrations (Context7, Chrome DevTools, Postgres) for richer context, and resets the session when output quality degrades.
It applies pattern-context-engineering and runs throughout the build to keep the agent on project conventions. It implements stage-implement.
