Detailed patterns and worked examples

Best Practices
1. Read context first : Always read relevant artifacts before starting work
2. Small updates : Make incremental context changes, not massive rewrites
3. Link decisions : Reference context when making implementation choices
4. Version context : Commit context changes alongside code changes
5. Review context : Include context artifact reviews in code reviews
6. Validate regularly : Run context validation checklist before major work
7. Communicate changes : Notify team when context artifacts change significantly
8. Preserve history : Use git to track context evolution over time
9. Question staleness : If context feels wrong, investigate and update
10. Keep it actionable : Every context item should inform a decision or behavior
